COVID-19: A message to our community
The current situation is unprecedented. In the face of the coronavirus epidemic, Polaar has chosen to support those who risk their lives every day to save yours. Discover our support measures, as well as actions where you can donate or help those who need it most.
France is currently experiencing an unprecedented health crisis, and is now entering its fifth week of generalized confinement. These uncertain times will go down in history, and may well find their way into school textbooks for generations to come.
While confinement can be psychologically difficult for some, and can tend to point the finger at inequalities, it is also a moment that testifies to the mutual support and solidarity of the French population in the face of an invisible and as yet uncontrollable enemy.
But confinement is also the ideal time to take a break, to allow ourselves to take our time again, to contemplate the world around us (understanding how essential environmental impact is in today's society), to watch our children grow up, to consume more intelligently, while nourishing our bodies and minds.
That's why at Polaar, we wanted to do our bit to help those who need it most.

We would like to respond positively to all requests for donations, but Polaar is still a small organization and our stock does not yet allow us to satisfy everyone.
However, we do our utmost to respond to your requests as quickly as possible.
The Polaar team on social networks
Since the start of the lockdown, our team has been working from home, but we're still available on social networks, especially on Instagram, where we've decided to pamper you: sophrology, a facial yoga class for luminous skin, an introduction to meditation, Zumba, a special spring make-up lesson... You're spoilt for choice! Discover them every week on our Instagram account.
As for your orders placed on the e-shop, they are still guaranteed (albeit with slightly longer delivery times). Polaar would like to thank all those who enable us to continue taking care of your skin on a daily basis: letter carriers, deliverymen, handlers, order-pickers, who do their best to bring your skin a little balm.
I want to help too
Many organizations are currently helping to fight the spread of the epidemic, either financially or simply through solidarity initiatives.
DONATE: Discover the list of key organizations to donate to in the fight against the coronavirus (Fondation de France, Institut Pasteur, WHO, etc.).
HELP: For volunteers at heart or those more accustomed to associative missions, you can use the Civic Reserve website to propose a mission (if you're a public body or association) or offer your help as a volunteer.
Let's win this health war together ❤️
Dear Polaar customers
I'm embarrassed to talk about Polaar's generosity. I find, as an industrialist and business leader, we almost overdo it. It's as if the commercial battle has been deported, and instead of comparing our figures, we're now going to compare and flaunt our benevolence.
Another manager once told me that "good doesn't make noise, and noise doesn't do any good". So I said to myself that we wouldn't publish anything, that we'd keep our actions to ourselves, discreetly, we know each other, and that's what counts.
But I changedreviews to give hope, to show that we are individually a solution to a global problem.
Then, with no possible comparison in effort, there are not two Frances for us: those at the front and those "hidden away" in confinement.
Finally, at Polaar, everyone knows the "principle of the outstretched hand": the duty to reach out and help your colleague, even if it means stepping outside your "job description".
Today, these "colleagues" have moved from society to society: to warehouses, to delivery trucks, to stores, to patrols, to hospitals!
So THANK YOU to all those who are making this difficult situation a little less so.
Daniel Kurbiel, Founder of Polaar
