About — Our story

Born by the sea,
made for the quiet.

Ondine began in 2019 in a small laboratory on the Brittany coast, where marine botanicals grow in the cold Atlantic. We wanted skincare as calm as the water outside our window.

Fewer, better.

Six formulas cover a complete ritual. When we make something new, something old has to earn its place.
