Marine Exopolysaccharide from Aber-Benoît: Secreted by a planktonic microorganism found in the River Aber-Benoît in Brittany, this active ingredient restores the 3 functions of the epidermis for a “new skin” effect: -the physical barrier function: by increasing keratinocyte differentiation and stimulating cellular renewal, this active ingredient improves the elimination of dead cells and rough skin patches. The skin is softer and smoother.-the chemical barrier function: by reinforcing the skin’s natural defenses and reducing inflammation, this active ingredient cleanses the skin and improves its health. It is therefore particularly appropriate for acne-prone or sensitive and reactive skin.-the hydro memory function: by reinforcing the skin’s ability to rehydrate, this active ingredient contributes to improving the comfort of mature and reactive skin, while addressing cutaneous dryness issues in oily, acne-prone skin. The skin is regenerated and healthier.
Hyaluronic Acid (low molecular weight): Hyaluronic acid plays an essential role in the skin’s water regulation thanks to its exceptional water retention properties. It works as a veritable “molecular sponge”, absorbing up to one thousand times its own weight in water. When applied topically, hyaluronic acid forms a continuous and elastic film on the skin, permeable to cutaneous exchanges, retaining water and therefore contributing to maintaining a good level of hydration in the stratum corneum. This low molecular weight active ingredient also plays a key role in the cellular migration, bonding stimulation and proliferation processes involved in wound regeneration, reconstruction or healing. Therefore hyaluronic acid significantly improves the skin’s healing process as it activates re-epithelialization, regulates cell proliferation and migration and reduces the roughness of the newly formed epidermis.
Yeast Extract: Yeast is made up of mineral salts, carbohydrates, lipids and vitamins (extremely rich in B vitamins). Thanks to the presence of vitamin B, Yeast Extract helps preserve the skin’s integrity: it has a re-balancing effect and facilitates the healing of certain skin conditions (acne, seborrhea). Yeast also has antibacterial and restorative properties, making the skin firmer and smoother.
Oxygenating Complex specific to Biologique Recherche: Biologique Recherche’s oxygenating complex has exceptional oxygenating properties: ex vivo tests show that it stimulates cellular respiration via a nano-emulsion system which delivers Perfluorodecalin, a molecule known for its ability to transport oxygen (like hemoglobin in blood). These significant results highlight a direct “oxygen carrying/replenishing” effect. Cell oxygenation stimulates cellular activity in order to improve the skin’s hydration and barrier function.
