The Story of the Legendary Jouvence Cream…

The Beginning… A journey to Polynesia, the discovery of Calophyllum Inophyllum oil and its amazing healing properties…

After returning to Paris in 1951, Dr. Élis Darot, a Doctor of Chemical Sciences working in a Parisian research laboratory, developed a healing concept. After several months of applying the oil to different areas of the body, Élis noticed that her formula enhanced epidermal cell regeneration and had antioxidant, regenerative, and rejuvenating properties.

A native of Avèze, in the Puy-de-Dôme region of France, Élis perfected a day cream for personal use. Her friend Jean encouraged her to launch her own cosmetic line.

Élis decided to name the brand Jean d’Avèze, combining the name of a person and the place that inspired her.

In 1953, Élis founded a research laboratory in Paris. The result of her work became the now-famous Jouvence Cream.
