The DNA of the Oppidum brand
Oppidum is a French beauty company founded by Christophe and specializing in organic and biological cosmetics. Located in Puycelsi, Occitanie, not far from Toulouse, it is based on a fundamental pillar: offering certified and Cosmebio-certified cosmetics.
The brand's history, initially conceived as a locally crafted creation, illustrates the power of expertise that combines nature, innovation, and respect for environmental standards. Its mission is clear: to offer each person high-end skincare products that are affordable yet rich in hydration and benefits for the skin, by promoting raw materials from organic farming.
A story rooted in the Tarn
Founded in a medieval village, the Oppidum company opened its doors in December, initially as a small soap factory specializing in facial care soap. The founder, Christophe, wanted to anchor his project in the land and surrounding nature , collaborating with a network of local producers.
The artisanal status allows for entirely handcrafted production, with a clean and uncompromising composition. Oppidum makes a point of maintaining direct contact with its audience, transparently explaining the description, selection, and origin of each ingredient.
The founding values
Oppidum is based on strong values: authenticity, sustainability, and the power of nature. The products are certified and Cosmebio certified, guaranteeing a clean formulation free of any harmful ingredients.

The brand works with precision on the olfactory expression of its treatments to stimulate the senses and reinforce the emotional power of the beauty routine.
The art of stimulating the senses

The soft or more solar fragrances , such as orange or rose, constitute an immersive experience. The sensory description of the products underlines their authenticity and their powerful character, reflecting a slow and conscious beauty.
Neuroscience and skin well-being
