Marine exopolysaccharide from the Mediterranean Sea: Secreted by a microorganism found in the Mediterranean Sea, this exopolysaccharide fights the menopause’s physiological effects on the skin. It acts on connexins, gap junction proteins, to re-establish the intercellular communication channels between keratinocytes on one side and epidermal and dermal cells on the other. It thus helps to thicken the dermis and increase the density of collagen to improve skin support. The skin’s microrelief is smoothed and the skin is softer.
Shiitake extract: The shiitake is a mushroom used in Japanese medicine, also known as the “elixir of life”. Its extract works on collagen at every stage of its life cycle: it increases collagen synthesis, improves its quality and limits its deterioration thanks to its anti-carbamylation action. With quality collagen, skin is firmer and smoother. Mature skin is given a new lease on life.
Moisturizing vegetable oil complex: This vegetable oil complex, found in plants such as corn or coconuts, is a smart moisturizer for the skin, providing it with controlled, lasting hydration. It improves its ability to retain water and to provide the right quantity when and where necessary by stimulating aquaporin-3 proteins, the molecules responsible for transporting water through the epidermal cells. It also helps restore the skin’s barrier function to limit Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL).
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.).
Beeswax: Beeswax is a natural wax containing large amounts of vitamin A. Thanks to its film-forming properties, it works like a veritable second skin, protecting it from external attack (i.e. wind, sun, cold, etc.) without, however, clogging the pores. Its moisturizing and emollient properties also hydrate, soften and smooth the skin.
Anti-ROS and anti-RNS Antioxidant: This active ingredient is a Vitamin E derivative and plays a dual role in protecting the skin from reactive species. On the one hand, it can trap reactive species (oxygen and nitrogen free radicals), thus preserving skin cells. On the other hand, it inhibits lipid peroxidation. This means it has antioxidant and detoxifying properties. The skin is stronger and rejuvenated. Used over time, it combats signs of skin aging, by helping to improve the skin’s elasticity, reduce the depth of wrinkles and diminish pigmentation marks.
