> Who founded Guinot ?
René Guinot, a chemical engineer by profession, founded the Guinot Paris brand. His passion for cosmetics and entrepreneurial spirit gave birth to it.
> Key dates in the history of the Guinot brand:
1963: Guinot is founded, marking the beginning of an adventure based on quality and innovation.
The history of the Guinot brand dedicates all its efforts and cutting-edge research to women. It was at the Georges V hotel in Paris, a venue that contributed to the company's success, that René Guinot offered the first treatments, while defining a beauty protocol: Cathiodermie (from the Greek catio : electrodes and derm : skin). Guinot then opened its first beauty salon there. The brand's success was born in this prestigious location, and positive word-of-mouth began; the start of a beautiful story…
1972: The Guinot Mary Cohr Group was founded by Jean Daniel Mondin
The son of an aesthetic surgeon who became the brand's CEO, he purchased the Guinot cosmetics laboratory, founded nine years earlier by René Guinot, after earning his doctorate in pharmacy, and took control of the brand and its various Parisian salons. He then decided to "serve women's beauty in a different way, with creams". He wanted to redefine cosmetics through his own philosophy, based on a highly personal vision inspired by the medical world. He is one of the few scientists in the world to run a cosmetics company. That same year, the brand launched Hydradermie, the first exclusive treatment method designed to enhance the face through an ionization process.
1986: Launch of the Longue Vie Cellulaire facial treatment, which quickly became a Guinot product and the brand's bestseller.
The purpose of this treatment was to test the effectiveness of a nourishing complex on the skin of burn victims. It is the legendary "Milieu de Vie Cellulaire" (Essential nutritional complex that gives life to cells and regenerates them). It is used in the Longue Vie Cellulaire face cream, which made the brand successful; even today.
2000: Launch of the Guinot franchise, giving the brand a new dimension.
2011: In 2011, the Hydradermie Double Ionisation treatment became the flagship product of Guinot salon treatments.
2012: Opening of the Guinot Mary Cohr Academy, a training center dedicated to aesthetics.
2016: Guinot goes digital with the creation of a website, a mobile app, and an increased presence on social media. Guinot products online are born.
> The values & commitments of the Guinot brand
Guinot beauty salons embody the group's professionalism.
Advice and support are provided by experts. A Guinot aesthetician is a true "doctor of beauty". A true ambassador, she is regularly trained in treatment application methods. The Guinot experience is based on expert advice and a specific approach to customer care.
In addition, emphasis is placed on pharmaceutical standards. Guinot holds two certifications:
- ISO 22716 certification
Issued by the International Certification Bureau VERITAS, this concerns manufacturing standards. Every Guinot product is designed within a rigorous environment with well-defined standards, such as precise product weighing, strict hygiene, and traceability for every item. This guarantees customers demanding treatments!
Guinot's promise:
- Quality
- Safety
- Innocuity
Trusting Guinot means choosing authenticity and perfection for your beauty routine. With an unwavering passion for beauty, Guinot invites you to discover the very essence of high-end cosmetics.
For this reason, to measure the effectiveness of its treatment methods and products, Guinot recreated a Pilot Institute integrated into its Research and Development center. It allows for the continuous evaluation of new active ingredients, staying at the forefront of progress to improve formulas and increase their effectiveness. Guinot research constantly renews its techniques and treatment methods to become increasingly effective and efficient, thus enabling the success of licensed salons.
- ISO 14001 certification
With this standard, Guinot bases its strategy on the perpetual questioning of formulas and products to continuously adapt to demand. To improve the formulas and effectiveness of Guinot products, the R&D Laboratory evaluates new active ingredients resulting from recent scientific advances. At the same time, environmental commitment is strengthened with a responsible policy.
The key areas of its responsible approach are as follows:
- Maintain "Guinot" compliance with regulatory requirements
- Optimize energy consumption
- Apply rules to keep wastewater discharges within current standards for environmental protection
- Implement the necessary procedures to prevent pollution risks
All stakeholders involved in Guinot's activity must comply with their environmental management system. Environmental protection is everyone's business. It is with this in mind that Guinot is voluntarily committed to environmental certification and continuous improvement.
Furthermore, the brand's philosophy has also been to make beauty accessible. It offers high-end cosmetics at home, which you can order on our institut-kallista.com website.

It has not changed since its inception. It is very elegant and reflects luxury. The G is deliberately not part of the font; it is very circular and uppercase to implicitly refer to the massages provided in the salons. This very circular G can also suggest the contour of the face, showing that the brand offers facial treatments.
