The Douce Conversations: Three Days of Healing, Transmission, and Collective Power

From April 3 to 6, 2025 , Douce. opened a new space in Paris: Les Douce. Conversations , a series of talks and workshops dedicated to care, skin, identity, and the power of women.
For three days, women from all walks of life came together around strong values: gentleness, transmission, kindness, and care in all its forms.

💬 A space for speech, skin, soul

At Douce. , we believe that care goes far beyond products .
It is a living, collective, emotional experience.
This is why we imagined Les Douce. Conversations as a bubble outside of time, a parenthesis to find ourselves, listen to ourselves, and repair ourselves.

The themes covered reflect our DNA:

  • The relationship with black and mixed-race skin

  • Inheritance and intergenerational transmission

  • Self-image and reconstruction after injuries

  • Motherhood, menstrual cycle, mental health

  • The connection to the body, to touch, to our Afro-Caribbean roots

Each speaker brought their light, their experience, their truth.
Wellness experts, athletes, artists, entrepreneurs, therapists, all united in a shared spirit.

🌿 Self-care, care of others: an embodied vision of well-being

“Care is political.”
This sentence, spoken during one of the talks, resonated strongly in the room.
Taking care of yourself, especially as a Black or racialized woman, is about asserting your value in a world that often tries to erase it.
It is creating a space to exist fully, with gentleness and power.

Through this series of events, Douce. affirms its mission: to put care back at the center, in all its sensory, emotional and spiritual dimensions.
Yes, our products hydrate, repair, and enhance.
But they also tell a story.
They extend a gesture, an attention, a conversation.
