T.LeClerc

In 1881, Théophile LeClerc, a visionary pharmacist and beauty lover, invented the first rice starch powder in the heart of Paris. For 140 years, T.LeClerc's loose powders have been vegan and sterilised. They are available in 12 shades (soon to be 14...) and are suitable for all skin types. T.LeClerc offers a wide range of products for the complexion: Whether liquid, cream or compact foundation, pressed powder or loose powder, the expertise in complexion has made T.LeClerc the brand of choice for many make-up artists around the world.

Made from rice in 1881, Dermophile loose powder has become an iconic product that is one of the historic loose powders. The iconic rice powder is at the heart of the T.LeClerc collection. It mattifies, smoothes, gives an even complexion and provides silky smooth skin all day long. The legendary shade Banana, which catches and reflects light and softens the edges of the face, is the beauty secret of make-up artists around the world.

It took the son of a pharmacist and a cosmetics lover to take the reins of this beauty brand that was born in a pharmacy. Since 2020, T.LeClerc has been owned by the entrepreneurial couple Laetitia and Frédéric Poux. It all started in a pharmacy where Frédéric Poux grew up as the son of pharmacists. Laetitia is the daughter of a beauty journalist and got involved with cosmetics at an early age. After years of making numerous brands shine, she felt it was time to "wake up this beautiful sleep", to reveal its treasures and know-how. Strengthened by their shared passion for cosmetics and driven by a desire for independence, Frédéric and Laetitia bought T. LeClerc. The love at first sight for this house steeped in history is immediately palpable.
