On the occasion of its 70th anniversary, Argiletz was honored by Europe 1 during the program “Initiatives en France” hosted by Ombline Roche.
As a pioneer in natural clay-based skincare, Nadia HEITZ, Managing Director of Argiletz, took the floor to talk about clay and its incredible virtues. Argiletz is proud to have maintained traditional methods for 70 years. Our green clay is still dried in the sun today in Lizy sur Ourcq.
Mrs. HEITZ, recalled the commitments of Argiletz, the values of the company, its core business and its ancestral and 100% French know-how. It announced the release of a new range of products “Terractiv” based on natural clay and thermal water
Founded in 1953, Argiletz has kept intact its deep passion for clay. It is love and respect for this benefactor land that drives Argiletz, and this is what we wanted to share in this exclusive interview.
The story of Argiletz begins with the gestures of a resistant woman who treats the wounded of war during the Second World War, while France is occupied.
She provided clay care to wounded soldiers in the Jura forests. Listening only to her courage, her values, her willingness to help her neighbor and save her country, the mother of the founder of Argiletz is on the ground with the wounded of war. She helps in her benevolent way, with gentleness, the soldiers to recover.
It is under the gaze of her son Jean that every day, she prepares her clay poultices. In the forest, she applies them to the soldiers whom she relieves, comforts, and supports through her gestures, which are in fact, gestures of love. She then lets the earth of green clay illite act to make its effects on their body than on their mind.
Marked by his history in a tragic period, Jean HEITZ will create 10 years later, in 1953, the company ARGILETZ in memory of his mother. And He will never cease to want to give clay the place it deserves.
The bonds he had with his mother, the daily gestures of the latter will have created in Jean HEITZ a real passion for clay. Like his mother, he is deeply convinced of the links between man and the earth, the importance of values and transmission. He knows that the earth provides its blessings to human beings, like a mother to her children. He knows the powers of clay as soon as it comes into contact with water. This matter has no more secrets for him. His mother passed everything on to him: respect for the earth, knowledge of rocks. But above all his mother has lavished gestures of love that he wishes to continue to transmit.

Since 1953, it is this same breath that animates Argiletz, the breath of freedom, benevolence, links between peoples. Clay is a miracle of nature singing its power of its beauty. Respect for women and mothers, heroines too often forgotten, respect for the rights of the child too often flouted and respect for the land are intrinsic values of ARGILETZ.
Clay is a gesture of love, and Argiletz has been passing it on since 1953
Where does the name ARGILETZ come from? The name of our brand Argiletz is from the contraction of the word “Argile” (Clay en French) and the last two letters of the name of our founder (Mr. Heitz)!
As a pioneering brand in the world of clay, we are committed to making the countless benefits of clay known to as many people as possible. Today, we are proud to be honored in an article published by the famous media CNEWS. Enough to give clay the place it deserves!
[title text=”They talk about us” tag_name=”h2″]
During an exclusive interview with our General Manager Nadia Heitz and Laurent, our pharmacist and Quality Director, we reveal a little more behind the scenes of our brand: our commitments, our latest projects, our contributions…
The family TPE has been able to promote natural clay-based products.
More than a committed player for natural beauty, we have chosen to turn to respect: for your body, the living, the environment and the natural materials we use every day.
This is exactly what we wanted to convey in this article. Thank you to the CNEWS team for this nice highlight!

[title text=”Why The Simple?” tag_name=”h2″]
The name of this new range of products has its origin in the Middle Ages, a time when medicinal plants were commonly called “The Simple”. This term seemed obvious to us.
Since our creation in 1953, we have made the choice to offer you the best of nature, authentic products and without superfluous. Our new range of aromatherapy follows this logic. We want to get to the point, in all transparency, through noble products, from plants rigorously selected for their proven benefits. What could be better than a name symbolizing a return to the sources rich in meaning? The name “The Simple” is all found!
[title text=”Aromatherapy complementary to clay” tag_name=”h2″]
If clay remains the very first product to have made Argiletz a brand committed to natural beauty,our approach to an ever greener and more responsible transition today goes much further.
The clay and plants used for our aromatherapy range are both from Nature. They have properties of their own which, combined, offer a condensed of virtues. In the world of green cosmetics, vegetable oils, essential oils and floral waters are widely used: they guarantee eco-responsible care, respectful of the skin, hair and our beautiful planet.

The year 2021 is full of surprises at Argiletz. After the announcement of our ecological bamboo toothbrushes, here is the arrival of another novelty. In the zero waste family… here is the presentation of the new washable and reusable makeup remover cottons!
[title text=”Ecological and sustainable make-up remover cottons” tag_name=”h2″]
Our kit of 7 washable cotton pads is designed to respect your skin and our beautiful planet. They are made from organic, environmentally friendly, GOTS & Oeko-tex certified cotton. They thus offer perfect traceability from the production field to your bathroom.
Our reusable cottons ensure a complete and gentle makeup removal thanks to their two sides. The first, in “pilou”, is ideal for applying thick textures such as our cleansing milk. The second, with its small curls, adapts perfectly to more fluid textures such as lotion or floral water.
Our cottons can be machine washed a hundred times. Enough to keep them for a while in your bathroom. In order to protect them and
keep them all together after washing, they are sold with their mesh pouch.
[title text=”Why use washable cotton pads?” tag_name=”h2″]
On average, a French person consumes about 6 cottons a day for facial hygiene and makeup removal. If we do the math, that’s 2100 cottons a year that end up in our landfills. A figure that makes you dizzy!
Worse still: even if cotton is a natural material that seems difficult to do without, it is not a very ecological material. The production of a single 1 kilo of cotton requires up to 20,000 liters of water.
Not to mention the controversial substances used to bleach cotton used to make disposable makeup remover discs…
Washable cotton offers many advantages. First of all, it is free of any plastic packaging and does not throw itself away right after removing your makeup. It therefore represents little amount of waste to
short, medium and long term but also less production of raw material.
Finally, our washable cottons are made in France, 100% organic, unbleached and are extremely effective. Coupled with our makeup remover
composed of pink clay as well as our organic floral waters, makeup removal has never been so pleasant!
As the current health situation pushes us to isolate ourselves, it is important to keep in mind the notions of solidarity and sharing. Many people have been impacted by this unprecedented situation, both professionally and personally.
[title text=”Concrete support for students” tag_name=”h2″]
Students, already often in precarious situations, have not escaped the rule and have unfortunately borne the brunt of the COVID crisis. Precariousness, difficulties in housing or sometimes even in food, it was unthinkable for us not to help.
Thanks to the Crous de Créteil, we were able to get in touch with the Gustave Eiffel University to help students in need.
[title text=”Distribution of hygiene products: a solidarity action” tag_name=”h2″]
No less than 100 bags containing hygiene products were prepared by our team and distributed to students. Toothbrush, soap, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo… The students were able to receive healthy, natural products, which will hopefully bring them a dose of love and comfort.
Since our creation in 1953, we have been driven by strong values: mutual aid, love of the living, respect for one’s neighbor and the living. Our products reflect our state of mind. Thus, when we became aware of this beautiful collective action, we responded present without hesitation!
Because every drop of water counts, we are proud to have been able to bring a little comfort to our scale ?
The year 2021 begins under the sign of novelty at Argiletz: ecological toothbrushes arrive in the zero waste family. Trendy, useful, effective and above all respectful of your mouth and our beautiful planet, our all-new bamboo toothbrushes integrate our range of green oral care. We tell you all about this new essential bathroom product!
[title text=”The bamboo toothbrush by Argiletz” tag_name=”h2″]
To take care of yourself and pamper your teeth, what could be better than an ecological toothbrush to accompany our healthy toothpastes, without fluoride or titanium dioxide?
More than just a toothbrush, we have chosen responsible and unnecessary materials:
A biodegradable bamboo handle
Gum-soft and recyclable hair
A box made of 100% biodegradable kraft paper
In order to go further and for ecological reasons, we have chosen to engrave our brand on the handle rather than print it. I don’t know why. It is a more ecological and less polluting process.
[title text=”Why use a bamboo toothbrush?” tag_name=”h2″]
Very often made from several plastics, “classic” toothbrushes are among the objects in the bathroom that cannot be recycled. Every year, about 1400 tons of toothbrushes end up in our garbage dumps. A colossal amount that has a harmful impact on our beautiful planet…
The bamboo toothbrush has many advantages and is gaining more and more followers. First of all, bamboo is a natural material that has a low impact on the environment: it grows very easily, requires little water and is very resistant.
This 100% biodegradable ecological wood also has a quality that makes all the difference: it is bacteriostatic, that is to say that it limits the proliferation of bacteria. Ideal in a bathroom where the humidity is often higher than in the rest of the house.
As you will have understood, the ecological bamboo toothbrush is an essential that will take care of your mouth while preserving our planet. Fall for its exotic design and combine it with our clay toothpastes for a 100% responsible care!
