Rhamnose: This ingredient is a polysaccharide obtained by bacterial fermentation. It has a soothing action that helps attenuate the skin’s inflammatory reactions following exposure to sun, pollution or chemical agents. Its rhamnose-rich structure enables it to limit propagation of cell messages cause by inflammation. It acts as a decoy, binding to the membrane receptors of the attacked keratinocytes, thereby reducing subsequent inflammatory reactions. In addition, it combines protection with well-being by stimulating the release of endorphins, the molecules responsible for pleasure.
Kudzu extract: This extract is derived from the roots of kudzu, a perennial vine native to the Far East. Kudzu extract contributes to limiting the action of phospholipase 2, an enzyme involved in inflammatory reactions. Acting at the heart of cutaneous inflammation mechanisms, it contributes to significantly reducing certain skin conditions such as xerosis and rosacea, as well as improving skin elasticity. It is also renowned for its softening, anti-irritating and soothing properties.
Milk proteins: This extract contains milk messenger molecules which stimulate the skin protection system. It helps minimize the cell reactions which generate cutaneous irritation such as the release of inflammatory mediators. The inflammation duration is shortened, thus accelerating the skin recovery process. Thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, milk proteins extract helps protect the skin.
Ceramides complex: Identical to the lipids of the skin, the Ceramides help restore the skin’s protective barrier function. Ceramides are ideal for restoring the skin as they increase bioavailability and the transfer of skin lipids. Using this concentrate of Ceramides helps increase the hydration and protection of mature, dry or sensitive skin.
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 and 9) 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.
Pomegranate extract: Pomegranate extract has outstanding anti-aging properties. Its antioxidant properties help combat the cells’ oxidative stress and therefore premature cutaneous aging. It stimulates the expression ofaquaporin-3 proteins, which significantly declines with age, thereby allowing the epidermis to find a better water balance. It helps restore skin’s tone and elasticity. While the synthesis of collagen decreases with age, the synthesis of collagenase (the enzyme which breaks down collagen) increases. Pomegranate extract stimulates the synthesis of collagen and reduces the synthesis of collagenase to restore balance in the dermis. By facilitating water and glycerol circulation, the skin is perfectly moistened and becomes brighter. The skin is smoother and refreshed.
Mimosa Albizia and St. Paul’s wort complex: Mimosa Albizia, or silk tree, is a shrub native to South and East Asia. Its extract is known to be a powerful anti-glycation agent. St. Paul’s wort is a plant native to Asia, whose resin is rich in terpenes and polyphenols, giving it healing and soothing properties. These extracts work together in this complex to ensure the overall treatment of the sensitive eye contour area. It helps lift the upper eyelid and smooth crow’s feet wrinkles thanks to its action against dermal sagging.
Wasabi extract: Wasabi, rich in isothiocyanate, is a powerful antioxidant and has an antimicrobial effect. It protects DNA by trapping free radicals and increases the activity of other antioxidants.
