When your signature product has reached icon status, you don’t just celebrate—you throw a party at the Chateau Marmont with a guest list full of glowing A-listers, flowing Ruinart, and a custom cake shaped like your most famous bottle.
To celebrate 30 years of their iconic Sensibio H2O Micellar Water, the French skincare favorite hosted a cozy-glam dinner party under the stars at Chateau Marmont, with actress Abigail Spencer playing host. The evening was an ode to the cleanser that’s earned cult status with makeup artists, celebs, and skincare lovers everywhere—and spoiler: it did not disappoint.
The Icon That Started It All
Let’s be honest: if you’ve ever wiped off a full face of makeup in 30 seconds flat and thought, how is this even possible?—you probably have Sensibio H2O to thank.
This was the micellar water that launched a thousand dupes. Developed in the ‘90s by French pharmacists, Bioderma’s Sensibio H2O was the first of its kind: a gentle, no-rinse cleanser that actually respected your skin barrier while removing makeup, dirt, and pollution like a dream. It became an instant backstage essential—beloved by makeup artists, models, and dermatologists alike—and it’s been a ride or die in beauty cabinets ever since.
What makes it special? It mimics the skin’s natural composition, so it won’t disrupt your moisture barrier (translation: no dryness, no sting, no angry red patches). Just clean, calm, hydrated skin every single time.
No frills. No foam. No drama. Just decades of trust in one iconic pink-capped bottle.
From First Sip to Final Sparkler: A Night to Glow
The evening kicked off with Ruinart champagne served upon arrival, setting a celebratory tone for the garden dinner ahead.
Guests made their way into the candlelit courtyard, where the setting was both intimate and refined. Tables were adorned with soft pink floral arrangements by Abigail Spencer’s own studio, County Line Florals, adding a romantic, feminine touch to the elegant space.
Throughout the evening, a magician moved casually from table to table, offering light, table-side tricks that added an element of surprise without pulling focus—just the right touch of whimsy for a night that honored a product known for its quiet magic.
And the guest list? Glowing. Attendees included Zooey Deschanel, Jamie Chung, Ashley Madekwe, Camila Luddington, Kim Raver, Nasim Pedrad, Chriselle Lim, Annabelle Fleur, Rocky Barnes, Amanda Kloots, Nichelle Hines, Maggie Lawson, Melanie Lynskey, and more. All gathered to toast a product that’s earned a lasting spot in the beauty world.
Also in attendance was Bioderma CEO Jeremy Bayen, who took a moment to reflect on the brand’s journey—from its roots in French pharmacy culture to its global cult status today. As the evening came to a close, guests lit the sparklers while a cake—cleverly crafted in the shape of the iconic Sensibio H2O bottle—was brought to the table. A thoughtful, celebratory touch to mark three decades of a skincare classic.
