White Tea Leaf Extract: White tea leaf extract, rich in polyphenols and oligomeric proanthocyanidins, enhances the complexion. It helps reduce skin blemishes (pigmentation marks, redness, diffuse or otherwise, and micro vascularization), caused notably by an attack on the skin by environmental factors, by inhibiting angiogenesis, protecting against free radicals and limiting inflammatory reactions. It provides an overall solution to dull complexions to restore the skin’s radiance, freshness and vitality. Thanks to its action on angiogenesis and inflammatory reactions, white tea leaf extract is also particularly efficient in combating the effects of rosacea. Finally, its antioxidant properties protect the skin from oxidative stress, preventing premature cutaneous aging.
Walnut Extract: Walnut extract is mainly used in anti-aging products to prevent and improve signs of cutaneous aging. It stimulates keratinocyte growth and fibroblast activity and inhibits the activity of elastase, an enzyme that breaks down elastin. It thus counteracts the mechanisms involved in natural skin aging to prevent signs of aging. It is also a powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from oxidative stress and prevents the negative effects of external attack, thus helping slow down the cutaneous aging process. It therefore has anti-wrinkle, protecting and firming properties.
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.
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: it helps firm and smooth the skin. This active ingredient is used in skin care products for oily, dry and/or mature skin.
Anti-pollution Polysaccharide: The anti-pollution polysaccharide provides the skin and hair with a barrier against the 3 types of pollution: atmospheric (carbon particles, fine particles and heavy metals), UV, domestic (chemicals). It therefore limits intra and extra-cellular cutaneous damage caused by this pollution (oxidative stress, inflammation, cellular and mitochondrial toxicity, etc.), while also preventing the alteration of the hair fiber caused by pro-oxidant pollution.
Anti-Pollution Screen: A veritable urban shield, the anti-pollution screen stops the accumulation of particulate pollutants in the epidermis by preventing their interaction with the skin. It also limits oxidative stress thanks to its ability to capture free radicals. The skin’s antioxidant defense systems are enhanced and the skin is more resistant to the external attack of urban life.
