Our commitments
In search of meaning
Coming from a long line of female pharmacists, Anne-Sophie Nardy discovered the medicinal powers of plants at a very young age. After 12 years working for major cosmetics groups, she left the Parisian frenzy to get closer to nature.
She decides to bring a new vision of beauty to life and begins writing the cosmetic charter she has always dreamed of. Committed, desirable, beneficial cosmetics that reconcile naturalness and effectiveness, simplicity and refinement.
"Harnessing the power of nature, respecting the chain of life, for committed, desirable, and beneficial beauty, that is the mission of On The Wild Side."
Anne-Sophie Nardy, founder On The Wild Side
A life-changing encounter
In 2018, Anne-Sophie met William, a remarkable wild plant gatherer. He introduced her to the spectacular and little-known benefits of wild plants. When left in their natural ecosystem, plants develop properties that are incomparable to those of human-cultivated ingredients.
It is this power that lies at the heart of the On The Wild Side Patented Complex: the unique combination of two wild plants, detoxifying Birch Sap and regenerating Beech Bud, hand-picked in French forests.
A committed approach, from tree to skin
From the outset, On The Wild Side has been committed to exceeding all traditional requirements. On The Wild Side is one of the only brands certified Cosmos Organic, Vegan, and B Corp.
Three labels that embody the brand's mission: to have a positive everyday impact by reinventing the way cosmetic products are designed and consumed.

Every day, we commit to putting people and biodiversity at the heart of our decisions
Together, they created a guide of good practices to learn how to respect the plant, manage resources responsibly, and ensure the preservation of biodiversity.
Chaque jour, nous nous engageons à mettre l'humain et la biodiversité au cœur des décisions
Depuis le premier jour, On The Wild Side est mécène de l'Association Française des Professionnels de la Cueillette des Plantes Sauvages (l'AFC) : une association de cueilleurs qui militent pour des procédés responsables et durables.
Ensemble, ils ont créé un guide de bonnes pratiques pour apprendre à respecter la plante, gérer les ressources avec responsabilité et garantir la préservation de la biodiversité.
