Shea butter: Shea butter is extracted from the fruits of the shea tree, which grows on the savannas of West Africa. Rich in unsaponifiable fatty acids and vitamins, it has remarkable lipid-replenishing properties and skin absorbs it easily. It strengthens the skin’s hydrolipidic film to protect it against dryness caused by climatic stress. Its anti-inflammatory properties combined with its nourishing effect soothe and repair the driest and most irritated areas (scars, eczema, psoriasis, chapping, etc.).On the face, it fights wrinkles and fine lines from dehydration.
Cotton oil: Cotton oil is extracted from the seeds of the cotton plant. Naturally rich in omega 6 and 9, it has emollient properties and limits transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Thus, it helps maintaining the integrity of the skin. Its Vitamin E content also helps protecting the skin from premature skin aging.
Complex made from Hyaluronic Acid and Rhizobium: This complex consists of hyaluronic acid, a natural constituent of the dermis, and gel produced by rhizobium, a symbiotic bacterium in sunflowers. With its high molecular weight (>1 Mda), hyaluronic acid remains on the surface of the skin to enhance its barrier function against harsh external factors, and to keep water in the superficial layers of the epidermis. Combined with rhizobium gel, this complex helps create a supple and flexible protective film on the surface of the skin, which regulates perspiration. In addition, it acts as a water reservoir, restoring the skin’s water requirements to regulate its hydration and guarantee its structural integrity.
Walnut extract: Walnut extract is mainly used in anti-aging products to prevent and improve signs of cutaneous aging. It stimulates keratinocyte growth and fibroblast activity and inhibits the activity of elastase, an enzyme that breaks down elastin. It thus counteracts the mechanisms involved in natural skin aging to prevent signs of aging. It is also a powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from oxidative stress and prevents the negative effects of harsh external factors, thus helping slow down the cutaneous aging process. It therefore has anti-wrinkle, protecting and firming properties.
Cranberry oil: Cranberries contain many little seeds that yield a plant oil extract. Rich in vitamin C, vitamin E and essential fatty acids, this oil restructures the cutaneous barrier and helps enrich the Natural Moisture Factor by working to retain moisture in the skin. Non-oily, it leaves skin matte and soft.
Complex made from Prickly Pear Cactus extract and Jojoba oil: This complex is composed of prickly pear extract, a cactus adapted to desert conditions, and jojoba oil extract, a shrub adapted to arid climates. It prepares skin cells to react more quickly to the different stresses the body experiences. This stress can be caused by harsh external factors or by the metabolism: sun, extreme temperatures, dry or polluted environments, chemical or mechanical irritations, lack of sleep, jet lag, strong emotions, hair removal, etc. By helping the body’s cells adapt to unfavourable conditions, it helps prevent premature skin aging. In addition, it helps repair damaged skin tissues.
