1908

Birth of a line of pharmacists, a love of plants as a legacy

In 1908, pharmacist Pierre Girault, Savéria Coste's great-grandfather, created his pharmacy in Marseille. A great specialist in botany, his cosmetic preparations with plants ensured his reputation. Then followed Fernand Stanislas Girault, Savéria Coste's grandfather, and his wife, both pharmacists, as well as their son and his wife, also pharmacists. The latter took over the pharmacy and developed it to create a self-service space dedicated to "holistic beauty". Customers thus discovered a totally innovative pharmacy, dedicated to dermo-cosmetics, herbal teas, and other well-being products. When she came into the world, Savéria Girault, who would become Savéria Coste, already carried in her veins the love of plants and cosmetic preparations. She is the fourth generation of Pharmacists.

Creation of the Garancia Laboratory: the botanical alchemy of the future

It was while working on a revolutionary active ingredient that Savéria conceived her very first formula: "A foam that will act in 30 seconds to transform the skin's texture... a cult product was born: the Magic Pschitt ." The product lived up to its promises, and the Garancia brand's alchemy worked its magic... The successful marriage of high technology and natural ingredients propelled the Magic Pschitt to the forefront of the beauty ritual. It won over numerous celebrities and took 3rd prize at the Beauty Challengers Awards, out of 70 international brands, at the Cosmeeting trade show.

A mysterious year

When she heard about the studies of a Swiss research laboratory proving, through excellent results, the effectiveness of snake venom on skin tone, the "scientist" faced the evidence and prevailed over the "phobic" of snakes... This is how the Mystérieuse range was born, a range of global anti-aging care, with proven clinical effectiveness, particularly on expression lines.

Scientific research without borders

After numerous collaborations with European researchers, Savéria turned her scientific gaze toward the United States. It was there that she met her " plant hunter ." This researcher-explorer unearthed " Dragon's Blood " in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a red resin used as a veritable botanical bandage by Native American tribes. Savéria would later incorporate it into the formulation of her cult skincare products [Diabolique Tomate], [Le Chardon et le Marabout], and [Immortal Express Shot]. A gentleman adventurer, this plant hunter doesn't hesitate to risk his life to save ours! [Diabolique Tomate] and [Le Chardon et le Marabout] both received the Marie Claire France Excellence Award in 2013. [Immortal Express Shot] MG6P subsequently received the Avantages de la Beauté Grand Prize in 2015, as well as the Femme Actuelle Award in 2016 for the [Immortal Express Shot] EGF version.
