Pichia Anomala extract: This pure fraction of mannans from Pichia Anomala (yeast) boosts the natural lipid replenishment system of the skin by acting on key steps such as the synthesis, transport, secretion and maturation of epidermal lipids. This active ingredient also considerably reduces TransEpidermal Water Loss.
Luffa Oil: Luffa (Luffa Cylindrica) belongs to the cucurbit family. This trailing and climbing vine produces a squash with black seeds. The oil is extracted from the luffa seeds by cold pressing. It is characterized by its composition of 72% short-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, among which 62% are essential fatty acids: 60% linoleic and 2% gamma linoleic. Its fatty acid content is close to that of the stratum corneum. This acid restores the normal lipidic state of lipid-deficient skins and rebuilds the fatty acid profile essential for the lipid barrier. Therefore, it has repairing and nourishing properties.
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.). This active ingredient with a multitude of benefits is used to intensely nourish the driest skin, providing immediate and lasting relief. It softens and smooths the skin, thus countering the “crocodile skin”effect. Its nourishing property also helps preserve skin elasticity to prevent and reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Jasmine Butter: Native to the Himalayas, Jasmine is grown in abundance in countries with mild climates. Jasmine was introduced to Europe via Africa during the invasion of the Moors and is recognized for the specific benefits of its calming, soothing flowers. Jasmine butter is made from Jasmine oil which smooths, moisturizes and softens the skin. Known for its revitalizing and nourishing properties, it restores hydration of dry skin while providing a sensation of comfort.
Moisturizing plant sugars: This sugar derivative, a combination of xylitol and glucose, optimizes water reserves by increasing the skin’s glycosaminoglycan content (hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate). It also helps reduce Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) by promoting the synthesis of lipids (ceramides, cholesterol) and key proteins in the skin barrier (keratin, loricrin). Thanks to this sugar derivative, desquamation is regulated and the micro relief is smoother. Skin is more resistant to damage since it is moisturized and restructured.
Rosemary oily extract: Rosemary is a small woody aromatic shrub, considered a plant with beneficial and curative properties since Ancient Times. Its oil extract is obtained from the prolonged maceration of rosemary leaves.It is recognized for its anti-free-radical action, protecting the cells from oxidative stress, and its antioxidant action. It also has purifying properties. It is therefore suitable for the preparation of anti-aging and purifying treatments to protect the skin from daily attack.
Raspberry Seed Oil: Raspberry seed oil contains ahigh concentration of omega 6, omega 3 and vitamin E. It energises the cutaneous repair process and activates dermal regeneration by reinforcing the structure of the Dermo-Epidermal Junction (DEJ). It also helps reduce Transepidermal Moisture Loss (TML). Consequently, it offers an interesting repair activity in damaged or burned skin subject to minor sunburn; difficult climatic conditions; a chemical peel or dermabrasion procedure; naturally dry skin or even mature skin whose renewal process has slowed down.
