Marie Veronique is a small batch producer and pioneer in clean, microbiome-friendly, efficacious topicals for skin health. Our products support skin health for every skin type and tone — acne, dryness, symptomatic skin, and more — with a particular emphasis on the science of age delay.
Founded in Berkeley, California in 2002, the genesis of our brand was our belief that the skin is inherently whole and resourceful on its own, with an innate quest to heal and to be in balance. This sophisticated, naturally-sustaining organ has evolved over millennia, and, contrary to what you might hear in other places, it does not need to be changed or fixed; our approach is to support it.
Our holistic approach considers not just what you put on your skin; it includes a focus on your entire body as a series of systems that work together. We draw from the latest scientific research as well as our knowledge of Biomedicine, Western Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and other holistic health modalities. As scientists and formulators by trade, we are driven by curiosity and fascination – and we dive deep into what it means for a product to be truly effective.
Our ability to produce the most effective, highest quality products is directly connected to our ability to adhere to our values. We are as devoted to the health of Mother Earth as we are to skin health, and we are acutely aware that the decisions we make every day as a business have an impact.
Our team is proudly female-founded and led. Our Founder is Marie Veronique Nadeau, the chemist and inventor who started the company, and continues her quest for skin health innovation and drives R&D and product formulation. Marie is a legend who has earned her place as one of the skincare industry’s most distinct and treasured voices.
