Trio of polysaccharides: This trio of polysaccharides consists of a unique network of biopolymers made up of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, alginate and pullulan. They act synergistically to help maintain water in the stratum corneum. By forming a protective shield on the skin’s surface, this active ingredient reinforces the lamellar structure of epidermal lipids. As a result, it provides the skin’s surface and deeper layers with powerful hydration, thereby restoring the quality of the skin barrier. The skin is perfectly moisturized, immediately and over the long term.
Hyaluronic acid (low molecular weight): Hyaluronic acid plays an essential role in supporting the skin’s structure and texture. It works as a veritable “molecular sponge,” absorbing up to one thousand times its own weight in water. With a low molecular weight (10 kDa), it improves the extracellular matrix to preserve optimal hydration in the epidermis. It also fights wrinkles by activating collagen synthesis to reduce the size and depth of wrinkles and fine lines. In addition, it stimulates neo synthesis of hyaluronic acid, promoting desquamation and reducing the size of pores to soften skin texture. This truly makes the skin’s surface smoother.
Hyaluronic Acid (high molecular weight): Hyaluronic acid is a natural constituent of the dermis. With its high molecular weight (>1 Mda), hyaluronic acid forms a continuous, elastic film, permeable to cutaneous exchanges, to keep water in the superficial layers of the epidermis and enhance the skin’s barrier function against external attack. The skin is therefore moisturized and protected.
Chaperone proteins from microorganisms from the Valais glacier: This active ingredient was developed using microorganisms capable of surviving under extreme conditions on the Valais glacier in Switzerland. It helps increase the expression of chaperone proteins, the purpose of which is to help other proteins mature so that they can fully perform their biological functions. By improving the folding of aged fibroblast proteins, it stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin for a plumping effect on wrinkles, while making the skin firmer. It also increases the production of ATP (cellular energy), resulting in a more radiant complexion and revitalized skin.
Oxygenating Complex specific to Biologique Recherche: Biologique Recherche’s Oxygenating Complex has exceptional oxygenating properties: in vitro tests show that it stimulates cellular respiration via a nano-emulsion system which delivers Perfluorodecalin, a molecule known for its ability to transport oxygen (like hemoglobin in blood). These significant results highlight a direct “oxygen carrying/replenishing” effect. Cell oxygenation stimulates cellular activity in order to improve the skin’s hydration and barrier function.
Lupin Lipopeptides: This active ingredient, rich in lupin lipopeptides, stimulates the skin’s microcirculation by boosting the synthesis of VEGF (protein the purpose of which is to trigger the formation of new blood vessels necessary to support the growth of tissue). It promotes skin oxygenation by stimulating cell respiration and renewal. Old cells making room for new ones help smooth the skin’s microrelief. The skin is smoother, more uniform, evenly reflecting the light and improving the overall radiance of the complexion.
