This primitive plant has a rich and complex composition, which makes it a classic ingredient in pharmacopoeia. Its richness in silicon – an element involved in the formation of collagen, which builds the skin's support tissues – gives it excellent firming properties. Both invigorating and purifying it also contains tannins and saponins – astringent molecules that tighten pores. Horsetail is therefore known to promote tissue firmness and elasticity while maintaining a good level of hydration in the upper layers of the skin.

Alfalfa Sprout extract helps to restore density to the skin. It is rich in proteins, amino acids, vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, K), minerals and trace elements (iron, phosphorus, zinc, copper, selenium, silica, magnesium). It also contains Vitamin U – a rare vitamin that contains an epidermal growth factor. It promotes skin regeneration, helps to reduce expression lines, and inhibits collagen-breakdown enzymes.

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.

It increases cellular oxygen consumption, improving protein synthesis. Cellular cohesion is strengthened; the skin's microrelief is smoothed.

Both calming and softening, this easily absorbed oil sinks into the skin without leaving a greasy feel. It protects against dryness and wrinkles by slowing water loss from skin cells. It helps to rebalance the skin and control sebum production, protects and softens, and is suitable for sensitive skin. With regenerating and anti-aging benefits, it works to maintain skin elasticity and suppleness (activates elastin metabolism) and smooth and firm the skin.

A natural anti-stress mineral, it inhibits muscle micro-contractions, which, over time, cause wrinkles and fine lines to form.

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.

According to legend, the concubine Yang Guifei owed her beauty to this Chinese mushroom. Boasting exceptional hydrating properties, it replenishes moisture and helps to restore the skin's barrier function. It significantly reduces cellular oxidation, thus fighting the skin-aging process. Snow Mushroom is said to be 10 times more powerful than hyaluronic acid.
