The little story of Venus & Gaia
Venus and Gaia are not only two Greco-Roman goddesses, they're also the name of the pretty silk accessories brand. Venus, goddess of beauty and love, and Gaia, deity of harmony with nature, are the founder's sources of inspiration. These two strong women symbolize the values on which the brand is based, such as love, beauty, union with nature and greatness. It was in 2018, after a night spent with a silk pillow, that founder Clara Vilarem decided to create her own silk beauty tools.
Venus & Gaia silk
So why silk? Because it has many qualities for skin and hair. Silk regenerates skin and hair from within, boosting collagen production. Non-absorbent, it does not dehydrate skin or hair during sleep. More hygienic than cotton, a silk pillowcase is ideal for skin with imperfections, as it is antibacterial and prevents the appearance of inflammation. What's more, silk marks the face less and prevents hair tangles. Finally, silk is the best weapon for quality sleep. It prevents the proliferation of microbes, stays fresh all night long and is hypoallergenic: it provides relief for people with colds or asthma, allowing them to breathe properly.
Venus & Gaia, a committed brand
Silk, yes, but not just any silk. The silk used in the brand's beauty tools is 100% mulberry silk. It's strong, thick and of the highest quality. It comes from a small farming cooperative in China (the silk market has yet to conquer France and Europe). Venus & Gaia is part of the "1% For your Planet" program, an organization that collects funds to donate to environmental associations. In addition to its ecological commitment, the brand pays great attention to the quality of the silk used to make its products. It is certified by the OEKO Standard 100® label, a European standard certifying the absence of toxic substances. In addition, the company has obtained the GOTS(Global Organic Textile Standard) label, which guarantees ethical and responsible manufacturing conditions, both from an environmental and a human point of view.
