Our history

Special Kid® by Eric Favre® is a range of plant-based food supplements for children. It was born of the family values instilled by its founder, Eric Favre, the grandson of a farmer from the Rhône-Alpes region (France) and creator of Les Trois Chênes® laboratories, specialising in the development and distribution of health and well-being products in the field of food supplements, phytotherapy and micronutrition.

 

“I grew up surrounded by nature and have always drawn my energy from the earth, the trees, the fields, the water and the air. I wanted to share the benefits of nature with those around me. That’s why I wanted to devote my whole life to the well-being, fitness and health of everyone, by using natural products. After years of researching and developing natural food supplements, and due to my unconditional love for my family and sons, I focused on developing an innovative range specifically designed for kids. This range serves as a natural alternative to their everyday needs. As I watched my two sons, Jonathan and Mathieu, play, live, and maintain great health, I was inspired to respond to the needs of all the world’s children. My goal is to ensure that they grow up serenely and in great health!”
– ERIC FAVRE, founder of Le Laboratoire

 

Over the years, the Special Kid® range has become a recognised player in its sector, quickly conquering international markets for the quality of its “made in France” syrupy-textured drinking solution, and is now present in over 30 countries under the Eric Favre® brand.

By the laboratory Les Trois Chênes®

In 1993, Eric Favre founded Laboratoire Les Trois Chênes® (3 Chênes®, 3C Pharma®, Color & Soin®, Eric Favre®, etc.), based in the heart of the Monts du Lyonnais countryside (Rhône, France).

 

Curious about everything and brimming with ideas, in 2009 he created a specific branch for the international development of his eponymous brand: Eric Favre® Wellness. Over the years, the two ‘sister’ companies have grown and created a number of innovations distributed in France and around the world, while retaining the values of their common founder, just a few kilometres apart.

 

In 2023, Eric Favre® Wellness (Spécial Kid®) return to its roots by merging with the Les Trois Chênes® laboratory, to pursue its development based on excellence, innovation, effectiveness and safety.
