Arctic Peptide: This peptide is extracted from an ordinary red seaweed native to the Arctic, capable of surviving extreme conditions thanks to its cryoprotective properties. This is the only metabolite that the seaweed accumulates in increasingly high concentrations as extreme conditions get worse, in order to stimulate its regeneration and growth. This peptide is naturally composed of a natural moisturizing factor, L-citrulline, which strengthens the skin’s barrier function, and an energy source, L-arginine, capable of optimizing various metabolic reactions such as regeneration. It therefore protects and restores the skin’s barrier function while increasing hydration.
Oleo-protect: This complex is a concentrate of precious Lupin and wheat germ oil molecules. With its particularly high content of phenolic compounds, β-carotene and tocopherols, this complex helps protect the skin from oxidative stress generated by daily exposure to radiation: UV, infrared and blue light. By preserving cellular integrity and functions, it protects the cutaneous matrix for more elastic skin.
Wax complex: The Wax complex consists of Candelilla Wax, Shea Butter and Glyceryl isostearate. The combination of these waxes improves water retention on the skin’s surface, promoting long-lasting hydration while enhancing the protective function of the skin barrier.
Film former: Film Former works on the surface of the epidermis to strengthen the hydrolipidic film, preventing water evaporation while allowing skin to breathe. Capable of encapsulating pigments, it fills in micro-cracks that form between the cells in the surface layers of the epidermis and helps achieve a smooth and even complexion. It encapsulates pigments to make them more resistant to friction and to prevent marks on clothes.
Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant: it protects the lipids of the cell membranes from the damage caused by the formation of free radicals. It also helps the skin maintain its elasticity and level of hydration by strengthening the cutaneous hydrolipidic film via the increased retention of water molecules in the horny layer. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
