Moisturizes and helps to maintain the elasticity of the skin.

In its three forms (high, medium and low molecular weight), it hydrates, smoothes and maintains the proper functioning of cellular cohesion. 

One of the most widely used medicinal plants, Aloe Vera is used to treat burns, including sunburn, to heal wounds and to combat cellular aging. Its composition is very interesting: like a cactus, it contains over 99% water. The remaining 1% is a very potent synergy of 12 vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, B12, C, E...) but also numerous minerals, trace elements and amino acids.

Calcium helps to improve cell renewal and strengthen epidermal cohesion, so that skin regenerates effectively.

This plant has been used in traditional medicine for over 2,000 years, to improve the healing process. This ability is directly linked to its two main constituents: saponosides (madecassoside, asiaticoside) and triterpenes (asiatic acid, madecassic acid). These molecules are involved in the production of collagen and fibroblasts – cells that play an important role in tissue regeneration.

Carnauba wax (Copernica Cerifera) is entirely natural and comes from Brazil.

It has filmogenic properties and is mainly used in makeup products, especially in lipsticks and mascara, because it stiffens the formula without hardening it, and makes it more resistant to heat. 

Neroli hydrosol has a calming, reassuring scent that can help you to fall asleep, so it's perfect before bedtime! Ideal for dry skin, it works to improve suppleness while providing regenerating benefits. With very mild antibacterial properties, it helps to gently restore skin's balance.

Rich in fatty acids, this oil helps to regenerate skin and soothe irritations. It contains many natural antioxidants (vitamin E, lecithin and sesamolin), which help to protect cells from oxydation, therefore preventing the early signs of skin aging. It's also an excellent oil for sensitive and reactive skin that seek comfort.

This humectant occurs naturally in the skin and increases epidermal hydration by trapping moisture in cells.

A powerful antioxidant, it protects skin against free radicals, which destroy collagen and elastin.

Cucumber is loved by combination and oily skin. It is rich in vitamins (A, B, C, E), oligo-elements and minerals (potassium). It boasts hydrating properties, as well as revitalizing ones for skin that tends to look dull!

Chaga is the most antioxidant of all natural superfoods known to man! Like all adaptogens, Chaga helps to defend your body – and your skin – against environmental stresses. This mushroom grows on birch trees, and it contains a high percentage of antioxidants, as well as ß-glucans, which have the power to stimulate your immune system and protect cellular DNA while reducing inflammatory responses.

The extract we chose is quite unique and was selected for its CBD-like properties. This means that it interacts with the cannabinoid receptors in the skin in the same way as CBD, while offering the same properties: improving skin comfort, reducing irritation and blemishes, regulating sebum production, and stimulating endorphins in the skin. 

Olive tree leaf extract contains a powerful molecule called oleuropein. It boasts incredible antioxidant and purifying properties, making it a great tool for blemish-prone skin and to help delay the first signs of skin aging.

Borage oil is great for maintaining hydration and suppleness to the skin. Its richness in omega-6 (linoleic and gamma-linolenic acids) gives it regenerating and restorative properties. It calms and soothes sensitive and irritated skin and maintains the balance of the hydrolipidic film.

Mandarin zest is used in cosmetics for its toning and refreshing properties. It helps stimulate blood circulation while providing antioxidants that protect the skin from external aggressions. It is also valued for its purifying and brightening effects, giving the skin radiance and glow.
