OUR QUALITY CHARTER

Authentic Terroir Cultivation

All our plants are authentic and strictly comply with the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. They are grown without pesticides in regions of choice specific to each species. For instance, Ginseng must come from Jilin with at least seven years of cultivation, Gan cao from Inner Mongolia, San qi from Yunnan after ten years of growth, Shan yao from Jianghuai, etc. To preserve this authenticity and guarantee a high-quality selection, our team travels several times a year to medicinal plant markets in China, accompanied by several professors from the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.

Respect for Traditional Processing

Each traditional formula is prepared with the utmost care, respecting the core principles of the Chinese pharmacopoeia, from its botanical composition to its precise dosage (paozhi: jiu, zhi, mi, duan, etc.). The desiccation process (moisture elimination) is carried out using high-pressure steam and completely without sulfur.

GMP Compliance

The GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standard is a European certification verifying strict compliance with high-quality manufacturing practices. Consequently, we demand that all our suppliers be certified by the GMP label to guarantee complete quality, safety, and effectiveness. Our storage is done under vacuum conditions without any use of irradiation.

Phytosanitary Controls

The phytosanitary directive establishes strict protection measures against the introduction and spread of organisms harmful to plants within the EU. Upon import, rigorous phytosanitary controls are performed on our medicinal plants to check for heavy metals and pesticides. Our items undergo customs inspections, and all ingredients are authenticated by their true botanical species.

Non-Ionization Commitment

Irradiation presents various health risks and leads to the degradation of essential nutrients and vitamins found in food, dried herbs, or spices. Committed to delivering effective, premium products, we guarantee that we use ingredients not subjected to irradiation.

"Made in France"

All our preparations are carried out in France, following thorough quality control metrics from production and storage through to distribution. Within our Paris laboratory, our teams develop traditional formulas and blends in strict compliance with health standards, from manufacturing to product packaging.

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES

Protection of Endangered Species

As nature is the core pillar of our mission, we are deeply committed to preserving biodiversity. Therefore, we strictly apply CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species) regulations regarding the commercialization of animals and plants threatened with extinction. We support the protection of wild fauna and flora and firmly refuse to participate in trade that jeopardizes their survival.

No Animal Testing Policy

Our position regarding animal testing is simple: we refuse any cooperation with laboratories or entities that test on animals. We exclude from our selection any item that requires the harm of animals. The few ingredients of animal origin we handle come solely from pre-existing by-products, valued in a framework of repurposing and sustainability, and are used exclusively in instruments for external applications.

OUR HUMAN VALUES

Fight Against Child Labor

Faced with the global issue of child exploitation, we implement a strict zero-tolerance policy. We pay close attention to the working conditions of our producers and categorically refuse to source from suppliers using child labor. We demand from all our partners a precise compliance with ILO (International Labour Organization) standards.

Fair Trade Practices

We choose daily to prioritize small local producers who maintain quality, responsible, and sustainable production lines. These producers, whose work ethics are exemplary, respect optimal production practices and offer superior herbs. Thus, in our path to protect humanity and nature, we fully support fair trade initiatives.

Our Eco-Responsibility

Because nature takes care of us, we care about its well-being. Aware of our environmental footprint, we have made the choice to lower our waste output and favor reusable and recyclable packaging options for all our products.

Attentive to the ecological stakes of recycling, Laboratoire Calebasse commits to recycling all packaging returned to us. Therefore, we encourage you to join this effort by sending us your empty bottles or dropping them off at your practitioner's clinic to facilitate collection.

At Laboratoire Calebasse, we treasure the gifts of the Earth. As a result, we strive for constant improvement in our environmental initiatives to return to nature what it provides so generously.
