Welcome to my world of natural and high-end body care products.




My name is Nathalie Fortin and I founded Les Ateliers Zest in 2022, a company that specializes in the creation, artisanal manufacturing and sale of high-end products to cleanse, moisturize and divinely perfume the skin of the body.

Our company stands out by offering a collection of body care products made with passion and dedication, including lotions, scrubs, cleansers and moisturizers for the body, hands, feet, and face.

MY STORY...


A long journey strewn with pitfalls, failures and sometimes despair, carried by my love for life which has always taken precedence over everything and an awareness of improving my ecological footprint have brought me to who I am today. Graduated in ornamental horticulture, phytotherapy, aromatherapy, in addition to dozens of training courses in essential oil distillation, perfumery, body cream manufacturing, advanced soapmaking, candle making and so on, allowed me to acquire valuable knowledge and a taste of what Les Ateliers Zest would become.


Well before the start of this adventure and I did not yet understand its full scope; a little inner voice pushed me to dissociate myself from the big commercial brands of cosmetic, body and household products. I very much wanted to stop using them, given their list of ingredients containing substances of concern for health and the environment. So I looked for an alternative, then through research, reading and training of all kinds, I acquired enough knowledge to be able to make my own products.


All my life I have searched for my passion and I discovered deep in my heart that you are not born with a passion. It is passion that finds us.


One thing led to another, the pleasure of manufacturing transformed into a real passion (finally!), to the point of saying to myself: why couldn't I share this passion with those around me? Every day, I tested new colors, new fragrances, new recipes.

My love for travel, beauty and smells have guided me in the creation of inspired and inspiring body and bath products. Whether in the choice of fragrances or colors reminiscent of the seaside, spas, coffee or tropical destinations, my dearest wish was that all men and women feel in a spirit of luxury and of opulence, recreating the ambiance and feeling of traveling to the most beautiful places in the world, while staying at home.


I also realized that the choice of raw materials had to be of the highest quality possible, without substances from petrochemicals, produced in an ethical and fair manner and not tested on animals. And finally, it was essential that each of my products be luxurious, visually beautiful and provide incredible softness for the skin.

Obviously, I couldn't ignore my indigenous origins. This is why I designed a collection referencing the forest, with its fresh aromas of fir and spruce.

As the main guidelines took shape before my eyes, I understood that the manufacturing process absolutely had to be carried out with the greatest care and attention. The love and passion that I infused into each of my products opened the doors to completely new sensations and still today this is what drives me.

Experience and years have led me to leave nothing to chance, down to the smallest details, from the finished product to the packaging. Everything has been thought out, tested and approved.


I am so proud to present to you my products which reflect my passion and my unwavering love for life. I firmly believe in the importance of taking time for yourself. I therefore invite you to let yourself be transported into a world where relaxation and well-being are a right for each and every one of us.
