Stemming from Quebec’s genius, L’ÉTOILE COSMÉTIQUES’ anti-aging products have been developed by passionate and experienced people.

We are proud to introduce our team members!
Patrice Dionne
President and CEO
Patrice is the President and CEO of innoVactiv Inc., the company behind the Juventide® technology that is at the heart of all L’ÉTOILE COSMÉTIQUES products.
We can say that Patrice is a kind of hybrid from the financial world and the world of research and development. He notably studied agricultural economics and holds a master’s degree in rural-economics, as well as a bachelor’s degree in economics.
His professional career is rich in varied experiences:
Patrice started a consulting business in agri-food economics and policy (for several Quebec agri-food companies, including Bonduelle (formerly Les Aliments Carrière)). He was a manager in the academic research community, an investor in the venture capital industry for 5 years and joined innoVactiv in 2004!
“I love my job at innoVactiv! I had the immense privilege of participating in the development of several cosmetic ingredients that are now used in many products marketed by multinationals in the industry. However, my greatest satisfaction is to have contributed significantly to the development of Juventide®, to be one of the co-inventors on the patents that protect this marvelous technology derived from starfish and which has led to the launch of the L’ÉTOILE COSMÉTIQUES product line.
What could be more stimulating than contributing to the improvement of the well-being and health of the skin by creating unique and effective products that stand out from the competition!”
