Once upon a time...
In the heart of Paris, a workshop where beauty takes shape in the raw materials. Atelier D'Afro-Dyte was born from a desire to restore meaning to the act of self-care, to rediscover the connection between the hand, nature, and the skin. In this artisanal laboratory, each creation is crafted with meticulous care and attention, using the gentle cold process method of saponification. Here, nature becomes texture, color, and emotion.
Between nature and requirements
The Art of Care
We work with organic plant-based oils and butters, selected for their purity and effectiveness. Each product embodies artisanal, local, and responsible craftsmanship, certified by Nouvelle Cosmétique Bio and Made in Paris. At L'Atelier D'Afro-Dyte , art and craftsmanship converge: the mask, a symbol of our world, evokes the dialogue between the hand, the material, and the elements—earth, water, air, and fire. It is this alchemy that transforms each product into a living work of art.
Between heritage and creation
The Founder
I come from the African diaspora, more specifically from Benin, and my journey is rooted in a royal lineage where craftsmanship, spirituality, and knowledge of materials are intimately intertwined. My Franco-Beninese heritage informs my vision of skincare: a beauty that connects, respects, and transmits. In Ouidah, I learned the art of black soap making from a local artisan—a formative experience that instilled in me the patience of the craft and a respect for natural materials. In France, I combined this tradition with scientific rigor. By blending cold process saponification with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), I found my path: creating organic solid cream-skincare products where nature, science, and the memory of craftsmanship converge. Today, in my Parisian workshop, each creation extends this commitment, this connection, and this transmission.
of gesture and of life
A philosophy
L'Atelier D'Afro-Dyte celebrates conscious, sustainable, and sensitive beauty. Each treatment tells a story, one of expertise that is listened to, felt, and passed on. Through our creations, we honor materials, slowness, and transformation—those moments when the hand becomes memory, and when skincare becomes art. More than a routine, it's an invitation to return to the essential: the right touch, authentic materials, and genuine beauty.
