Codexial is an independent French dermatological laboratory, expert in excipients for magistral preparations, ENO dermo-cosmetic care and anti-parasite solutions. Recommended by dermatologists, the brand combines pharmaceutical rigor, concentrated active ingredients and innovative galenic formulas to treat, repair and enhance every skin type, even the most fragile.
More detailsCodexial is more than just a laboratory. There's a strong scientific mission: to treat, repair and enhance the uniqueness of every skin type, whatever its age, history or fragility. This ambition was born of a clear observation: nearly 400 rare or orphan dermatological pathologies remain insufficiently treated by standard products available in pharmacies. Faced with this therapeutic void, Codexial has decided to take action. How can we help? By developing tailor-made solutions, designed with and for healthcare professionals. Do you have atypical, sensitive skin prone to chronic disorders? Here, nothing is left to chance: formulation becomes a genuine medical act.
Founded in 2007 by Doctor of Pharmacy Pierre Treffel, an expert in skin biology and galenic pharmacy, the laboratory's roots lie in hospital research. As early as 1985, at Besançon hospital, Pierre Treffel immersed himself in the study of complex skin diseases. He became interested in skin permeation, the absorption of active ingredients, and the decisive impact of excipients on therapeutic efficacy. A conviction was born: an active ingredient, no matter how effective, cannot act without a suitable galenic formulation. This scientific vision would become the cornerstone of Codexial. Even today, every product is based on this equation: optimal concentration + targeted excipient = long-lasting efficacy.
In less than twenty years, Codexial has become the No. 1 seller of excipients for magistral preparations in France. Over 5 million preparations have been made using our dermatological bases. In concrete terms, this means that every minute, somewhere, a pharmacist is preparing a personalized skincare product using a Codexial excipient. For you, this means an adapted response to atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, severe xerosis, eczema or pigmentation disorders. Where the industry offers standardized solutions, Codexial offers customized therapy.
But the story doesn't end with the magistrale. Building on its expertise in cutaneous biology, in 2021 the laboratory is launching the ENO brand, an active dermo-cosmetic that reconciles health and beauty. Because beautiful skin is above all healthy skin. Our formulas are highly concentrated in active ingredients, dermatologically tested and developed in France to strict regulatory standards. There's no compromise here: efficacy, tolerance and sensoriality coexist in every texture.
Codexial's guiding values are clear: humanity, high standards, commitment and ethics. Humanity, because every patient is unique. Demanding, because each ingredient is selected with scientific rigor. Commitment, because the laboratory remains independent to preserve its freedom to innovate. Ethical, because no formula is marketed without strict validation of its safety and efficacy. Added to this is a massive investment in R&D: over 6 million euros injected, 91 active ingredients studied, over 200 tests carried out every year. Looking for reliability? You've got it.
Codexial is also a company on a human scale, 100% Made in France, based in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy. 43 employees work hard every day to develop more effective, more responsible and more appropriate care products. Hybrid vehicles, local production, constant scientific monitoring: dermatological performance is combined with a social conscience. Finally, Codexial is not just a laboratory. It's a partner in skin health, a committed player, a rigorous expert, a passionate innovator. An ally for your skin, whether fragile, mature, atopic, pigmented or simply demanding.
Codexial structures its expertise around several strategic areas. Each range responds to a specific problem, with a rigorous scientific approach.

And above all, one vision: to put skin health back at the heart of beauty.
