Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're discovering Maison de Porcelaine for the first time or returning to refine your ritual, this is where we answer the questions our customers ask most often.

Absolutely. Maison de Porcelaine is the official partner and authorised distributor of every brand in our collection. Every product is sourced directly from the brand itself, never through resellers, parallel imports, or third-party channels.

Every product offered through Maison de Porcelaine is fully registered with the CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal) of the European Union. This guarantees that each formulation has been:

  • Officially notified to EU regulatory authorities
  • Verified for compliance with EU cosmetic safety standards
  • Authorised for legal and safe distribution across the EU market

Your trust is the foundation of the Maison, and we honour it through this direct partnership model.
