EviDenS de Beauté
EviDenS de Beauté stands at the crossroads of cutting-edge Japanese cosmetic expertise and the world-renowned elegance of French beauty.

This fusion of Japanese technology and French artistry continually celebrates authentic beauty and grace, delivering undeniable results.
EviDenS de Beauté is a heartfelt tribute from Charles-Edouard to his wife and, by extension, to all women.

The brand’s purpose is to provide women with a pleasurable beauty journey, combined with the satisfaction of visible results. EviDenS de Beauté collaborates with top scientists, such as Professor Ishibashi, to develop products that meet the highest quality standards. This commitment to excellence is evident in the brand’s adherence to the Kaizen philosophy, ensuring that even the most accomplished formulas are continually refined.
EviDenS de Beauté’s unique technology is exemplified by the use of Triple Collagen, a rare and powerful ingredient derived from extensive research on wild salmon from Hokkaidō. This ingredient, along with the patented QAI® Complex, directly stimulates skin regeneration, offering comprehensive anti-aging benefits.
The effectiveness of EviDenS de Beauté products is well-documented, with 92% of users reporting visible improvements in their skin’s appearance, 79% noting increased elasticity, 70% experiencing softer skin with reduced wrinkles, and 75% enjoying a brighter, more radiant complexion.

We particularly love the The Sakura Saho Skincare Range. The Sakura Saho, crafted by Charles Edouard Barthes as a tribute to his daughter Natsue, aims to preserve young skin’s self-regenerative capacity and delay the first signs of aging. This skincare ritual combines exceptional ingredients with remarkable anti-aging properties, including Sakura Extract for hydrating and anti-aging benefits, Gingko Biloba for its revitalizing and antibacterial properties, and Triple Collagen for moisturising and soothing effects.
Focused on maintaining youthful radiance, the Sakura Saho range uses Cherry Blossom extract to stimulate skin radiance and prevent aging, while Gingko Biloba enhances the formula with its potent anti-inflammatory properties. This combination protects the skin from pollution and environmental stress, unveiling and enhancing its youthful beauty.
Designed as a morning and evening ritual, the Sakura Saho ensures comprehensive skin care, addressing imperfections and enhancing natural radiance. Tested over seven days by 33 women, the range demonstrated impressive results: 91% reported increased hydration, 88% noted improved radiance, 82% saw fewer imperfections, 79% experienced refined skin texture and tightened pores, and 88% observed a more mattified complexion.
