Tribute to Robert Redford, the man who whispered to the planet

On September 16, 2025, the world lost a legend: Robert Redford passed away at the age of 89. Known for his iconic roles on screen, he will also be remembered as a passionate voice for the environment. His lifelong fight for nature finds a strong echo today in the mission of Laboratoires Druide, a Canadian pioneer in certified organic body care for over 40 years.

Robert Redford, a life guided by nature

Robert Redford never considered nature as a simple backdrop. For him, it was a source of truth, balance, and inspiration.
Starting in the 1970s, he opposed industrial projects that threatened ecosystems and became a defender of natural landscapes. Through the Sundance Institute, he showed that art and culture could raise awareness and mobilize people around environmental issues.

His commitment was also expressed through concrete actions: promoting renewable energy, participating in international summits, supporting NGOs, and advocating for more sustainable lifestyles.

Laboratoires Druide, a brand aligned with his values

Although Robert Redford and Laboratoires Druide never worked together directly, their worldviews are remarkably similar.
Redford championed a simple way of life, respectful of the planet and free from harmful industrial practices. Laboratoires Druide have built their identity on the same philosophy:

• The creation of organic care products that respect nature, designed to protect both health and the environment.
• Eco-responsible manufacturing, excluding harmful ingredients and reducing ecological impact.
• A mission to educate consumers about the environmental impact of cosmetics.
• A brand inspired by the wisdom of plants, seeking harmony with the Earth.
• Certified organic, vegan, cruelty-free products, packaged in sustainable and recyclable materials.
