Ericson Laboratoire

What Ericson Laboratoire does

Ericson Laboratoire is a French professional cosmetics brand founded around 1964 by Professor Ericson, a Swedish biologist and student of Nobel laureate Alexis Carrel. The company develops and distributes professional skincare and body care products used by licensed cosmetologists in beauty salons and aesthetics centers, with distribution also reaching end consumers via an online beauty boutique (ilubutiiq). Its portfolio spans more than 200 preparations, over 20 facial programs, and 9 core body procedures, organized into specialized lines such as BIOLOGIC DEFENSE, VITAMIN ENERGY, SLIM FACE LIFT, SKINJEXION, SUPREME DHE.Age, LINE CORRECTION, HYDRA CLINIC, BIO PURE, EPILEX2, and LIPO STRESS.

The brand's core technological differentiator is its claimed unique use of frozen cell extracts in salon cosmetics, developed through historical collaborations with Paul Niehans (founder of La Prairie). The proprietary Multitherapy concept combines internal and external therapy — including dietary supplements, hyperprotein diets, and phytodrainage — with topical products using third-generation liposomes and aquaporin-based moisturizers. New product cadence has been roughly annual, with launches including SKINJEXION (2015), SLIM FACE LIFT (2017), VITAMIN ENERGY (2018), and BIOLOGIC DEFENSE (2019).

Ericson Laboratoire operates a hybrid B2B/B2C distribution model. The French parent company maintains research and brand ownership, with an R&D center in France and an origin HQ in Paris. Estonian operations are run exclusively through ESTEMED KOSMEETIK OÜ (Tallinn), which handles wholesale distribution, cosmetologist training, certification, marketing support, and end-customer sales for the local market. Pricing is set in EUR, with gift sets listed at EUR 89-141 and seasonal discounts up to 20%. The company is private, founder/family-aligned with no disclosed external funding, and operates with 1-10 employees.
