At the origin of the creation of Cattier is an extraordinary natural ingredient with multiple virtues: Clay. In 1968, a man, Pierre Cattier, perceived all the richness and benefits of this "Earth of Beauty" and decided to allow the most people possible to benefit from this.

Rich in this precious heritage, the brand then reinforced its expertise in the area of natural cosmetology, by developing a whole range of natural products, and since the early 2000s, Cattier has positioned itself as one of the pioneers of organic cosmetics.

Natural Beauty expert for more than 45 years, Cattier is a key brand on the organic cosmetics market. Since 1968, Cattier has been committed to bringing consumers all the richness and benefits of nature, without harming it.

Combining quality and results, and a pleasure to use, Cattier care and hygiene products are trusted by families and regularly receive awards from organic cosmetics specialists.

THE CLAY

History and origin

Clay is a type of soil produced by the metamorphosis of rock that is naturally rich in mineral salts. It is found in major or minor deposits and, in most cases, extracted from open-cast pits. It has been used for centuries for its many benefits. A lot of civilisations (Egyptian, Greek, Indian, Chinese) have used clay to care for and protect their skins and bodies. Clay stands out from other elements in that it is both absorbent and adsorbent – meaning it can exchange absorbed impurities for beneficial minerals.
The more used clays

Illitic green clay is to be found mainly in the Massif Central and Paris Basin of France. It is reliable and versatile.

Montmorillonitic green clay is mainly found in the Languedoc, Provence and Massif Central regions of France, where it is also known as “Terre de Sommières” or “Terre de Carpentras”. This clay is pure and particularly rich in minerals.

Kaolinitic white clay is among the gentlest on the skin. It is found in France (Britain) and Englaland.
