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.
Silk extract: Silk is a protein made up of a glycoprotein polymer. Silk proteins form a film on the surface of the skin upon application, which results in an immediate smoothing effect. Silk also has skin moisturizing, firming, and softening properties.
Complex based on Myrrh, Myrtle and Onion: Myrrh is the resin produced by the balsam tree native to North Africa, which belongs to the Burseraceae family. Myrtle is a shrub native to the Mediterranean Basin. Onion is native to the Middle East. This complex of active ingredients has soothing, purifying, antioxidant and astringent properties.
Cucumber extract: Cucumber is an herbaceous plant native to India. It is rich in vitamins, trace elements and minerals, which means it has numerous properties suitable for all types of skin. Being both softening and hydrating, it is suitable for very dry skin, and its calming effect even brings relief to slight burns and itching (pruritis). In addition, it refreshes and stimulates the complexion, restoring its radiance. Cucumber also has significant purifying properties that nevertheless respect sensitive skin. As it is slightly astringent, it is also suitable for oily skins.
Mimosa Tenuiflora extract: Mimosa Tenuiflora, or “skin tree”, is a shrub from the Fabaceae family. Its bark extract helps stimulate tissue repair. In addition, its ability to regenerate supportive tissue and reactivate cell metabolism, combined with its anti-free radical action, helps combat the signs of cutaneous aging. Its antimicrobial and healing properties protect and repair the skin.
Lactic acid, Citric acid (AHA): Alpha Hydroxy Acids are a category of acids derived from fruit or milk sugars. They stimulate the desquamation process of the corneocytes, which are found at the surface of the stratum corneum, and stimulate cellular renewal. In relatively low concentrations, Alpha Hydroxy Acids are recognized for having moisturizing effects on the skin as they stimulate the production of amino acids during the corneocyte desquamation phase. In higher concentrations, they have keratolytic effects and help exfoliate and smooth the skin.
