Soothing hexapeptide: This hexapeptide is dedicated to treating sensitive, even allergic skin. It inhibits the activity of the PAR 2 receptor, which is directly involved in the release of the inflammatory cytokines responsible for inflammation and itching. As a result, it relieves inflammation and immediately soothes the skin: pain, feelings of discomfort, tingling or even cutaneous redness are reduced. It also helps rebuild the skin barrier by stimulating cell proliferation and restoring the integrity of damaged tissue, to improve skin tolerance and prevent further inflammation.
White Tea leaf extract: White tea leaf extract, rich in polyphenols and oligomeric proanthocyanidins, enhances the complexion. It helps reduce skin blemishes (pigmentation marks, redness, diffuse or otherwise, and micro vascularization),caused notably by an attack on the skin by environmental factors, by inhibiting angiogenesis, protecting against free radicals and limiting inflammatory reactions. It provides an overall solution to dull complexions to restore the skin’s radiance, freshness and vitality. Thanks to its action on angiogenesis and inflammatory reactions, white tea leaf extract is also particularly efficient in combating the effects of rosacea. Finally, its antioxidant properties protect the skin from oxidative stress, preventing premature cutaneous aging.
Plant-based squalane: The plant-based squalane is a clear liquid oil. It has strong affinity to the skin. Squalane is a lipid naturally produced by a mechanical process and one of the main components of sebum and the hydrolipidic film. Plant-based squalane prevents dehydration, restores skin suppleness and flexibility and limits transepidermal water loss. Soft and silky to the touch and non-greasy, it is an ingredient of choice in cosmetics.
Sacha Inchi oil: This oil is obtained by cold pressing sacha inchi seeds, a plant native to the Peruvian Amazon. Its concentration in polyunsaturated fatty acids (notably omega 3, 6 and9) allows it to restructure and protect the skin while limiting its dehydration. Commonly used for sensitive, dehydrated and dry skin, it leaves the skin smooth and non-greasy.
Java Tea leaf extract: Java tea leaves come from orthosiphon, a medicinal plant grown in Southeast Asia rich in antioxidant polyphenols. This extract inhibits the expression of the enzyme 5α-reductase to reduce the production of sebum and limit blemishes caused by hyperseborrhea. The skin is shine-free; the complexion is more uniform and radiant.
Complex made from Enantia Chlorantha and Oleanolic acid: Enantia Chlorantha is a tree commonly found in Equatorial Africa, while Oleanolic Acid, considered a bioactive molecule, is found in numerous plant species. The complementary combination of these two active ingredients helps deactivate sebocytes:-Oleanolic acid inhibits the formation of 5-dihydrotestosterone to deactivate the androgenic stimulation to which sebocytes are exposed,-Enantia protoberberines complement this action by inhibiting the growth of sebocytes and slowing down sebum secretion. Less stimulated and with fewer sebocytes, less engorged with sebum, the activity of sebaceous glands is curtailed: shine is reduced and the pores are visibly tightened.
Marine exopolysaccharide from the Iroise Sea: This active ingredient is secreted by a planktonic microorganism found in the Iroise Sea. It stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis to improve skin’s firmness and elasticity. It also has a tightening effect on the network of collagen fibers for an immediate, long-lasting lifting effect (starting after 15 minutes). Skin is smoother and wrinkles are filled.
