The young start-up, hosted at the Village by CA in Paris, donated nearly 2,000 jars of its flagship product to healthcare workers in the region. The balm helps to soothe their hands, which are dry from the intensive use of hand sanitizers.
"My whole family works in the medical profession, except for me!" Camille Brégeaut admits with a smile: she chose a different path. With Clémentine Granet, a classmate she met at business school, she created Les Petits Prödiges in 2017.
A multi-purpose balm to care for hands
An entrepreneurial adventure launched with a strong idea: to offer 100% natural, made-in-France cosmetic products. With the help of an experienced chemist, the two young women developed a multi-purpose balm with only 7 ingredients and vitamin E as the only natural preservative.
"In a casual conversation, a doctor cousin, mobilized on the front lines of Covid-19, told me that healthcare workers were suffering from hand problems, aggravated by repeated washing with hydroalcoholic gel. We checked our stock and immediately decided to donate nearly 2,000 balms to hospitals and nursing homes."
Mutual aid, an asset for tomorrow
A significant solidarity effort for the young start-up, which is just beginning to build a product range. "We want to offer products that care for others; it was obvious to take this step in these exceptional circumstances."
Hosted at the Village by CA in Paris, Les Petits Prödiges relies on the network of experts within the start-up ecosystem to develop its activity. "We fell in love with Village by CA; they are always very responsive when we have a legal or financial question. This is invaluable for the future of a small company like ours."
