About

Retrouvé

Retrouvé is a luxury skincare brand rooted in legacy and innovation. Founded by Jami and Klaus Heidegger, third-generation stewards of the iconic Kiehl’s Since 1851, Retrouvé embodies a marriage of scientific sophistication and natural purity. With over four generations of skincare expertise, the brand formulates advanced, multi-tasking solutions using ethically sourced and clinically effective ingredients. Each product is crafted in small batches, many incorporating ingredients harvested directly from the brand’s permaculture family farm, Palms of Malibu.

What is the Baume Ultime Body Oil?

Baume Ultime Body Oil is Retrouvé’s antioxidant-rich, decadently textured body oil designed to deliver deep hydration while visibly improving skin's texture and radiance. Formulated like a vitamin bath for the skin, it features a concentrated blend of nourishing ingredients: including Avocado Oil, Ceramides, and Vitamins E and C, to restore softness, support the skin barrier, and enhance skin suppleness.

This rich yet fast-absorbing oil targets dryness, dullness, and the visible signs of aging. Perfect for most skin types, it transforms the daily ritual of moisturizing into an indulgent skincare experience.

  • Use consistent amounts across body regions
