Fragrance house

Galénic

Founded in Paris in 1978 by French pharmacist and botanist Pierre Fabre, Galénic was created to apply scientific formulation to high-end dermo-cosmetics. Its identity connects science and beauty through research, measurable results, formulation precision, safety, and French pharmaceutical standards. The brand developed as a French skincare house associated with selective pharmacy distribution and continuing innovation in cosmetic actives and galenic formulations. In 2020, Galénic changed ownership under Yatsen, which planned to develop the brand in Europe and introduce it to China and other Asian markets while retaining its French identity and Pierre Fabre’s formulation and innovation role. Yatsen launched Galénic in China in 2021. Current corporate materials continue to present it as a French-origin premium skincare brand founded by Pierre Fabre and focused on science-driven products engineered for visible results; a 2024 industry report described its repositioning toward scientific ultra-luxury skincare under Yatsen.
