In 1957 the RoC® Company was founded by pharmacist Jean-Charles Lissarrague, who developed the first non-perfumed formula for dermatologists who wanted to recommend safe and non-irritating products. The products were also used throughout theatres in Paris, by actors and actresses who couldn’t tolerate the heavy creams and harsh stage make-up and required something that would better suit their skin. The 70s brought hypoallergenic make up and in the 80s RoC were the first company to use Liposomes and Peptides which was a significant skincare breakthrough. Minasol is RoC's sun skin care range and also the brand includes Retinol Correxion, Multi Correxion, Hydra+, Complete Lift and Retin-Ox for face and body.
