We are beyond thrilled to introduce our latest addition straight from the heart of Paris, say hello to CODAGE, a cutting-edge house of cosmetology that has been redefining skincare since 2010.
Founded by visionary siblings Julien and Amandine Azencott, who hail from a family of esteemed doctors and pharmacists. Their philosophy? Skincare should be as unique as you are, formulated with precision to meet your skin’s individual needs and yet relatable. CODAGE aims to decode ingredients in layman terms so that everyone understands which ingredients work best for their skin needs.
We’re so excited to bring this bespoke skincare experience available at our Freia Aesthetics outlets and online stores!
What sets CODAGE apart?
Believing that every skin is unique and deserves a tailored approach, CODAGE Paris brings back the lost art of personalized skincare—reminiscent of the apothecaries of the past. In an era when anyone could walk in, share their lifestyle, concerns, and aspirations with an expert, and receive a custom-made formula in return, CODAGE revives this bespoke experience with a modern touch.
Reflecting Freia’s own philosophy of curating bespoke facials and carefully selecting skincare for different skin types and seasons, we deeply resonate with CODAGE’s vision. So, it’s no surprise that CODAGE is our latest addition to Freia’s curated selection of niche beauty brands!
What makes CODAGE so special?
Their expertise goes beyond just skincare—it’s a seamless fusion of science, innovation, and personalization. In today’s era, where skincare is no longer a one-size-fits-all solution but a highly tailored experience, CODAGE thrives by embracing a customized, ingredient-focused approach. Their philosophy is rooted in the idea that every skin is unique and should be treated accordingly, much like how an apothecary would craft bespoke formulations based on an individual's specific concerns, lifestyle, and environment.
Let’s dive deeper into the heart of CODAGE and what makes it so special—how they masterfully blend dermatological expertise with personalized skincare.
(i) Nutri-elements™
Drawing inspiration from the Periodic Table of Elements, CODAGE Paris has revolutionized skincare by creating powerful cocktails of active ingredients that work in perfect synergy to target specific skin concerns.
Each carefully selected and dosed Nutri-Element delivers essential nutrients that support the skin’s optimal function, ensuring a well-balanced and effective skincare routine. These unique combinations form the foundation of every CODAGE formula, creating a personalized skincare "code"—or "codage" in French.
This innovative coding system not only makes it easier to understand the composition of each product but also provides a fun, intuitive way to decode its benefits! More importantly, it allows for a more accurate and tailored skincare prescription, ensuring that each formula is matched perfectly to the individual’s needs. It’s skincare, decoded.
These Nutri-Elements are formulated to target the four fundamental functions essential for healthy, radiant skin:
1️. Skin Comfort
2️. Cell Protection
3️. Anti-Aging
4️. Complexion & Texture
By tuning in to what our skin truly needs, we can recognize imbalances and work towards restoring its natural harmony. The key lies in identifying the right combination of nutrients to replenish, repair, and optimize the skin’s metabolism, as skin is the largest organism of the body after all! This philosophy led to the creation of The Nutri-Elements—a science-driven approach that empowers skincare to be more results-driven than ever before.
“TO EACH THEIR FORMULA,TO EACH THEIR CODAGE”
(ii) Skincare in 3 Acts (Prepare, Act, Protect)
CODAGE has developed a complete Ready-to-Wear collection in 3 acts:
1. PREPARATION
A well-prepared canvas is key to effective skincare. CODAGE categorised makeup removers, cleansers, and lotions as the perfect start to ‘prep’ the skin. This keeps the skin fresh and ready for active ingredients. Once or twice a week, go deeper by exfoliating with scrubs or peels to renew the skin, followed by a mask to hydrate.
“Cleaning your skin is a bit like cleaning the floor, first you need to sweep or vacuum it before washing it”
2. ACTION
This step focuses on deeply nourishing and addressing the skin’s specific needs with targeted care. At the core of CODAGE’s expertise lies their advanced serums or known as myCODAGE, a formulation service for made-to-measure serums and customised packaging. They select the Nutri-Elements corresponding to each person’s needs, depending on the season and moment in time, to determine ‘A CODAGE.’
With a lightweight, fluid texture, they offer a high concentration of active ingredients, allowing them to penetrate deep into the skin’s layers for powerful, long-lasting results.
Stay tuned as Freia introduces this “next level” personalisation of skincare in the later part of 2025.
3. PROTECTION
Shielding the skin from external aggressors while ensuring deep hydration and comfort is essential. Creams, lotions, and oils create a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss and keeps the skin resilient.
Since the body’s skin is naturally more prone to dryness, it requires regular nourishment and hydration to stay healthy and supple. That’s why selecting the right protection for each area is key to maintaining balanced, well-cared-for skin.
