the anatomy of
the Madeleine.

For Chef Dominique, hands are everything. They pipe, fold, glaze, knead, and shape ingredients into art. In his bakeries, citrus-infused madeleines are baked fresh to order because their magic lives in a fleeting moment — the instant they’re broken open and a final breath of warm steam escapes.

The natural scent is inspired by James Beard Award–winning French pastry chef Dominique Ansel’s citrus-infused madeleines just pulled from the oven. Notes of golden butter, soft citrus zest, and the gentle sweetness of fresh-baked pastry evoke the quiet comfort of a bakery at first light, lingering softly like the memory of a perfect bite.

    One of the best!

    I absolutely love this lotion! It has the most pleasant smell and I absolutely love how creamy the formula is. Other lotions tend to be greasy and have a hard time soaking into the skin…. But this one is pure gold! I would 100% recommend this to a friend just because that good! I’ll definitely buy again!

    Heavenly hand cream

    I’m a big fan on Iota and when I saw this limited edition hand cream I had to try it. And it did not disappoint! It smells delicious, it’s very thick and moisturizing but syncs into the skins without any greasy feeling and makes your hands super soft. I keep reaching for it several times a day:) Highly recommend!

    I’m amazed!

    I was born with hands wrinkled like a 60 years old, so just imagine how they look at 75!!!! Horrible!

    I’ve tried numerous products with claims of reducing wrinkles to no avail thus I was hesitant to try Iota’s hand cream. Well I was shocked the next morning! My hands were much smoother and wrinkles diminished! Now after three weeks, applied morning and before bed, I am seeing continued improvement in elasticity, wrinkles less noticeable and my hands have a pretty sheen to them all day!
