After the success of Endro Cosmétiques, Boris (a KEDGE graduate) is launching his new company: the Kalon laboratory!

KEDGE Alumnus Boris Le Goffic (together with Marion Le Goualher) is launching his own R&D and production laboratory to help brands formulate and manufacture their eco-responsible cosmetic products.

KEDGE graduate (Class of 2018), Boris describes himself as a sporty Breton - optimistic, committed, and patriotic. When he was at KEDGE at its Bordeaux campus, he presided over the sports club. "It was a very fulfilling experience! Looking back, I can see that participating in an association as a first professional experience [...] it's also a way to make a very good group of friends," Boris told us.

After having worked at both PriceMinister and Coca-Cola, and after a trip to South-East Asia, Boris decided to embark on the great adventure of entrepreneurship. " When I finished my studies, I already had two years of professional work experience, so I decided to go to Asia for four months with a friend and my rucksack. It's very interesting to see that there are other ways of living and other ways of thinking [...] It was by far my most enriching experience", explained the young entrepreneur.

Three years ago, KEDGE Alumni featured an article covering the launch of his first startup, Endro Cosmétiques, which markets deodorants that are certified organic and 100% natural. Today, we are very pleased to present a new article on how the company has evolved, as well as the launch of the Kalon laboratory!

Several steps are involved when creating a cosmetic product before it reaches the marketing stage. Sometimes it can be difficult to see how to move forward, and it's easy to quickly lose the way, especially for the start-up brands. Kalon helps with the different phases before the product is put on the market and can also help with the design of a project from A to Z.

In collaboration with the company, and with the help of a list of strict product specifications, the R&D team gives life to the product in the desired physical form: solid, gel, cream, oil, etc.

Like Endro, Kalon only uses natural raw materials and eco-responsible, plastic-free and/or reusable eco-friendly packaging. Laboratoire Kalon has gained expertise in 100% natural and certified organic formulas.

Based in Lannion in Brittany for more than three years, the R&D, production, quality, and marketing team has acquired in-depth know-how and expertise.

Adaptability and listening to the customer are the watchwords of Laboratoire Kalon, which means that it can assist projects that are either in their infancy or already well developed.

So are you ready to take on new challenges with Kalon?
