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.
Filmogenic Polysaccharide: Filmogenic Polysaccharide has immediate and long-lasting moisturizing and restructuring properties. In the short term, it forms a highly-moisturizing protective film on the skin’s surface that helps the skin barrier fight dehydration. This barrier also helps limit external damage from things like pollution. In the long term, it captures water molecules for prolonged hydration.
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.
Shea Butter: Shea butter is extracted from the fruits of the shea tree, which grows in the savannas of West Africa. Rich in unsaponifiable fatty acids and vitamins, it has remarkable lipid-replenishing properties and is readily absorbed by the skin. 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.).It intensely nourishes the driest skin to provide immediate relief that lasts. It softens and smooths skin, countering the “crocodile skin” effect.
Cottonseed Oil: Cotton oil is obtained from cotton seeds. Naturally rich in omega-6 and -9 fatty acids, it has emollient properties and limits cutaneous Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL). It thus contributes to maintaining the skin’s integrity. Its Vitamin E content also allows it to have antioxidant activity to protect the skin from premature cutaneous aging.
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.
Avocado Oil: Avocado oil is extracted from the fruit of the avocado tree and offers repairing, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is so rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids that it is also a powerful lipid-replenishing ingredient that intensely nourishes the skin. Its omega 3 and 6 content also help it to strengthen the stratum corneum barrier. This in turn helps protect the skin from inflammation caused by UV rays.
