Yahn ALES
Founder of IUM Laboratories
My name is Yahn ALES, and I'm the founder of Laboratoires IUM Paris.
I've always been passionate about the world of cosmetic care, and convinced that Nature still has many unsuspected resources. It's a family story that began with my grandfather, Patrick ALES, who created the first plant-based hair care products back in 1969...
Since the early 2010s, driven by the conviction that skin needs to be offered active ingredients it knows and knows how to use, I've been working with passionate men and women on an alternative to traditional cosmetics.
The search for natural, effective and responsible products led me down a neglected but promising path in the world of skincare: trace elements.
Driven by the motto: "Primum non nocere" (first, do no harm), I put all my energy into this quest in order to propose an innovation in skincare: IUM, the first certified ORGANIC Oligo Cosmetic© skincare products, born of my passion for nature, and at the service of the skin.
After numerous experiments supported by a team with faith in the ancestral virtues of trace elements, we have obtained results.
They are spectacular.
ium : Nature is our lifeblood
Because we believe in a virtuous and meaningful way of life, we have chosen to offer only care products certified organic byEcocert Greenlife,and natural.
Water in our care products is mostly replaced by hydrolats (floral waters rich in active ingredients) and water from the Iroise Sea: a real natural physiological serum, in order to offer 100% active formulas.
To give more meaning to our care products, all of them are offered in blue glass bottles, which limit the exposure of the formulas to external light, and allow us to preserve their effectiveness over time. All our bottles can be screwed together and are reusable and recyclable in order to limit our impact on nature as much as possible.
ium : The quest for global well-being
At IUM, we are aware that cosmetic skincare is only one piece of the puzzle. Beautiful skin: natural, balanced and full of vitality is not just the result of cosmetic care.
Our environment, diet and lifestyle have an impact on our skin, hair and body.
In this quest for global well-being, we have partnered with Naturopaths and Nutritionists who help us design your treatments and and advise you at each step of their of their use.
An innovative way to complete your care ritual, and to offer your body the balance and natural beauty that you deserve.
