Ingrid Millet Story

A visionary skincare founded by a visionary woman

In 1959, French cosmetologist Madame Ingrid Millet made the groundbreaking discovery that plant cellular extracts have a remarkable rejuvenating effect on the skin. She became the first to use them in cosmetics, as a mean of combating premature skin ageing.

From the laboratories of INGRID MILLET came a revolutionary range of beauty creams. Her holistic approach to skin diagnosis, personalized beauty regime and home-use products was launched to an appreciative international clientele.

In 1966, the first INGRID MILLET Institute was opened in the heart of Paris at 9 rue Royale, a stone throw from Place de la Concorde. Today, the newly renovated Ingrid Millet Institute still nestled in the middle of the famous “Galerie Royale”, providing tailor-made beauty solutions.

A quest for enhanced beauty

Continuing research led to the discovery in 1972 that the unique properties of caviar, a treat so precious it was once only consumed by royalty, also helps fight the ageing process. This led to the creation of a highly precious and effective ingredient, Caviar Complex, and the Perle de Caviar skincare range.

By integrating marine biology and a deep knowledge of the skin to formulate her unique skincare products, Ingrid Millet has set new standards for the beauty industry. This tradition of pioneering research is one that INGRID MILLET proudly continues into the 21st century.
