Codif : Visionary founders
We are investors as well as pioneers. CODIF is currently one of the only remaining suppliers of cosmetic ingredients to have retained its regional and family identity. The policy of collaboration and investment implemented by founders Antoine Gédouin and Romuald Vallée supports the brand all the way from technological innovations to industrial investments. As generators of national research projects, talent scouts and thoughtful investors, these two men are dedicated to creating unique and technologically natural cosmetics for tomorrow's market.
In 2011, when CODIF acquired an equity interest in the company Polymaris,
a specialist in marine biotechnologies, we became the first brand to offer a full exopolysaccharide (EPS) line; these unique marine molecules have no equivalent on land.
