NAOS, A UNIQUE MODEL

 

naos

NAOS is a purpose driven company whose vocation is to love, understand and care for the living.

 

NAOS has one ambition: to become a company renowned worldwide for the universal value and originality of its approach.

 

NAOS is a company owned by a non-profit endowment fund. We are therefore committed to better sharing the value created: to protect the company, to develop innovation in the field of health and to encourage entrepreneurial projects.

 

The NAOS governance system is based on a shareholder foundation that lays the groundwork for a new model, with the ambition of transcending the usual capitalistic schemes.

 

The specificity of the model is the separation of equity holding and decision making power in order to create and secure the company’s sustainable growth in a spirit of fairness, justice and independence. This governance system ensures the company’s longevity, its cause and its reason for being and purpose.

NAOS FOUNDED​

BY JEAN-NOËL THOREL ​

 

 

NAOS was founded by Jean-Noël Thorel, a pharmacist-biologist. At a very early stage, he overthrew the established understanding of the beauty industry, going so far as to shift its paradigm.

 

Jean-Noël Thorel began his career in a pharmacy and then worked as a young director in the pharmaceutical industry. In May 1977, he decided to go out on his own as a designer and inventor. The adventure began in the back of a warehouse in Rungis (near Paris), with 2000 francs (about 300 euros) in his pocket.

 

Jean-Noël Thorel built trust-based connections with scientists, dermatologists, pharmacists and pharmaceutical laboratories which enabled him to develop and sell products combining a biological function within the epidermis and a cosmetic surface function.
