The people behind every treatment, ritual and blend at Antarès — expertise drawn from wellness, ethnobotany and years of dedicated craft.

Patricia Choffel is the Antarès in-house alchemist and the creator of Pure Wild, our exclusive collection of handcrafted massage oils and balms. An expert in ethnobotany and classical European herbalism, her work is grounded in meticulous research, ancestral knowledge and a profound respect for the living landscape of the Alps.
Each spring, Patricia travels through the Alpine massifs — particularly the Vanoise and Méribel — to hand-forage botanicals such as arnica, meadowsweet and St John's wort, slowly infusing and blending them with precious botanical oils to preserve their natural properties.
Rooted in meticulous research and years of study, Patricia's goal is to reintegrate this deep respect for nature into modern life, reawakening an ancient art of plant-based wellbeing inspired by indigenous medicine traditions worldwide.
Every Pure Wild blend — Release, Still, Flow, Renew and Bare — carries her intention: to ease muscular tension, calm the nervous system, encourage lymphatic flow or nourish the skin, using entirely natural formulations produced exclusively for Pure Wellness.
