Graine de Pastel.
Graine de Pastel revives a piece of Toulouse’s regional history by transforming the ancestral pastel plant—traditionally used as a blue dye—into high-performance botanical skincare. Located in the heart of the city, this boutique showcases the dermatological benefits of "woad" through products formulated with locally grown, organic ingredients. The brand maintains a strictly ecological approach, utilizing four patents to extract anti-aging and nutritive properties without the use of silicones or parabens. Inside the minimalist space, you’ll find everything from concentrated facial oils to soaps in the plant’s signature pigment. The commitment to the region extends beyond the soil; the company manufactures locally and partners with workers with disabilities for their packaging, making it a thoughtful stop for those seeking effective, sustainable beauty rooted in Occitan heritage.
