France Laure, the Québec-based skincare company with a history spanning more than five decades, has taken a decisive step into the digital marketplace. On September 18, 2025, the brand will officially launch its first e-commerce platform, marking a turning point in how it engages with consumers.
The move opens direct access to products once reserved for spas and professional estheticians, offering customers across Canada the opportunity to explore France Laure’s complete line of skincare solutions online. From signature formulas to limited editions, the site is designed as both a shop and an educational tool, promising expert guidance at the click of a button.
Founded in 1957 by French pharmacist Joseph Fantin, France Laure relocated to Québec in 1970, embedding itself into the province’s professional skincare industry. Over three generations, the company has evolved from a Parisian family business into a wholly Québec-owned operation.
After moving its design and production facilities to Montreal in 2001, the brand placed a strong emphasis on local expertise. Today, France Laure manufactures its products under the watchful eye of international standards, including Health Canada, EU guidelines, and FDA requirements. Since 2017, under the leadership of Frédéric Fantin, the company has modernized its identity while maintaining its dual commitment to science and nature.
New Skincare Innovations for 2025
Coinciding with its e-commerce launch, France Laure is introducing two products it describes as “hero innovations.”
The Gentle Bi-Phase Makeup Remover with Cornflower Floral Water is priced at $50 for 150 millilitres. Formulated with sensitive skin in mind, it is a dual-action remover designed for both eyes and lips. Its water-and-oil blend promises to dissolve waterproof makeup without leaving behind greasy residue or compromising the health of lashes.
The second addition, a 10% Glycolic Acid Peel at $68 for 30 millilitres, blends glycolic acid with hyaluronic acid for a combination of exfoliation and hydration. The treatment is aimed at refining texture, minimizing pores, and delivering visible radiance while softening early signs of aging.
An Inclusive Approach to Skincare
France Laure has long built its reputation on a philosophy of balancing natural ingredients with scientific advancements. Its product lines are grouped into collections — including Hydrate, Regenerate, Calm, Balance, Nourish, Illuminate, Reshape, and Protect — each tailored to different stages of skin health.
This approach reflects the company’s broader mission: ensuring that skincare adapts to the evolving needs of customers, whether that means soothing sensitive skin or providing advanced anti-aging treatments. All products are paraben-free, cruelty-free, and certified by PETA.
For decades, France Laure has been a fixture in spas and esthetician practices across Canada, recognized for its professional-grade formulas. By establishing a consumer-facing e-commerce platform, the company is extending its professional credibility directly into homes.
The online shop is designed to replicate the personalized experience of spa consultations. Shoppers can expect curated advice, educational content, and access to the full breadth of France Laure’s catalogue, ensuring the company’s expertise translates seamlessly to digital retail.
Upholding a Heritage of Science and Nature
France Laure’s identity continues to be defined by its origins in pharma cocosmetology, a field that blends medical-grade science with cosmetic innovation. Over the years, the company has invested in biotechnology research, refining products such as cleansers, serums, and treatments that meet dermatological and hypoallergenic standards.
Its enduring presence in the Canadian skincare sector underscores a commitment to both authenticity and innovation. For a brand that began as a Parisian family enterprise, the France Laure e-commerce launch signals a new era, expanding its influence from spas and salons to a global online audience.
