In the realm of skincare, 2023 marked a significant milestone with the emergence of L’Elixir des Glaciers – Essence of Bees as an extraordinary daily routine tailored for dry skin. This innovation by Valmont isn’t just a step forward in skincare; it’s a leap into the future, blending ancestral wisdom with modern scientific prowess into nourishing treasures of Swiss beehives. WOWwatchers travelled to the Arolla Glacier in the Swiss Alps and the municipality of Satigny (near the airport of Geneva) to discover where Valmont got its glacier water, propolis and other salutary ingredients from.
“With Essence of Bees, I am offering treasures from our Swiss beehives to nourish even the driest skins. Fully aware of the need to preserve honeybees’ fragile ecosystem, today our historic commitment to protecting our foraging friends extends across borders.” Says Sophie Vann Guillon, CEO of Valmont
A Commitment to Sustainability and Bee Conservation
Valmont’s dedication to sustainable development is evident in their focus on bee protection, a crucial aspect of our environment. Studies have shown that as much as a third of our total food production depends on the pollination by bees. If these diligent creatures were to become extinct, it would have devastating consequences for our food production. By now, everyone – except Donald Trump – is also convinced that climate change is not a myth. We all live on the same planet and are increasingly aware that we must act. Now! Valmont wants to be an example in this regard. The new Essence of Bees collection not only pampers the skin but also supports long-term projects aimed at preserving biodiversity, highlighting the brand’s commitment to the environment.
The Pinnacle of Skin Nourishment
L’Elixir des Glaciers – The Essence of Bees line, comprising Huile Majestueuse – Nourishing Face Oil, Crème de Masque Majestueuse – Nourishing Face Care, and Sérum Majestueux Vos Yeux – Eye Lifting Serum, is a testament to high-performance skin nutrition. Each product in this collection boasts exquisitely light textures, redefined with a modern and generous spirit, making them a daily luxury for those seeking exceptional skincare based on the Exceptional Essence of Bees Complex.
The Essence of Bees complex is a unique blend of honey, propolis, and royal jelly – a first in the realm of skincare oils. This breakthrough results from a collaboration between Valmont and Swiss beekeepers, combining their profound knowledge with advanced scientific techniques.
The Exceptional Essence of Bees Complex

Transforming these natural ingredients into a potent skincare complex involves an eco-friendly lipophilic extraction process.
