Dreem: your sleep coach

In 2014, Hugo and Quentin, while still engineering students at the time, heard about research on sleep quality. Aware that insomnia affects a large portion of the population, they wanted to delve deeper into their research. Noting that little research had been done, aside from drug solutions, they set themselves the challenge of finding a technology that could analyze sleep.

Five years and 25 patents later, the team has created a headset that analyzes your sleep and transcribes your night on a completely intuitive app. The goal is to then understand your sleep. For Dreem, understanding your sleep is already improving it.
Then, support with a therapist is provided remotely for personalized advice.

The revolution of this innovation is that it has given us access to clinical-quality equipment from our homes. They have also created a true "insomniac" community with testimonials that have enabled genuine mutual support and the constant evolution of the product based on customer feedback.

Likes: the skin from the inside out

A completely new way of thinking about beauty. A brand that conveys a message: skincare products are no longer the only factor in self-care. Mathilde Lacombe and François Morrier are behind this project and this new way of conveying beauty. Both wanted to create something meaningful and that meets their expectations with a new approach to skincare. The brand loves that they love.

This is a skincare brand that approaches skin from the inside out. It includes holistic exercise methods, rituals, and dietary supplements. Their universe is based on self-care, and the idea that the beauty of your skin depends on how you treat yourself. Aime teaches you how to feel good about your body and skin through their dietary supplements.

“Because well-being also involves being good.
Feel good in your body, in your skin, at work, with your friends, in your life. Love yourself."

To go further, they've created a Glow Studio in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, with a menu of skincare treatments (LEDs, facial gym, etc.). It won't just be about taking dietary supplements. The brand goes further thanks to their support.

Oly Be: yoga classes from home

The perfect combo during lockdown: yoga at home. Gaëlle Frizon de Lamotte wanted to create a startup that would have a positive impact on people's daily lives. To do this, she created yoga, Pilates, and meditation classes to do from home, in your neighborhood, or at your workplace. And it's perfect timing right now when we're all stuck at home. It's super convenient; you can book your class online and at any time, 7 days a week, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

The idea is to practice these sports together without becoming ascetics. There's a family spirit and a desire for good humor during the classes.

Epicery: the retailer delivery platform

The Nestore team discovered this startup during our pop-up store with Le Nôtre . They had contacted Epicery to deliver their pastries.

Edouard and Elsa are behind this platform. They simply wanted to highlight local businesses. A true commitment to local commerce. From a retailer's perspective, this is a startup that can help them compete with the resources of larger businesses. Most haven't gone digital, but Epicery is doing it for them. For you, the price is the same as if you were traveling, which is quite convenient right now and when you're running around the rest of the time.
It's simply a platform that connects you with merchants in your city (Lyon and Paris for now) and allows you to have bread, cheese, meat, fish delivered to your home in less than 1 hour.

Self-care: artisanal cosmetics

The natural product sector is booming. Soin de soi has particularly caught our attention. Initially a spa, Maison soin de soi was created by Nelly in 1999. Then came the arrival of a marketing and communications apprentice, Marion. A chemistry between the two women led to the co-creation of the Soin de soi brand in 2015.

These are artisanal cosmetics made in a human-scale laboratory. Each product is 100% natural and organic, with no chemical preservatives.
A company that has grown little by little, first as a spa, then a laboratory, and finally a boutique. Without forgetting their core values: taking care of yourself without harming the planet. Everything is local, making you want to take the plunge and finally use healthy products.
