SHEA BUTTER

Shea butter, obtained from the seeds of vitellaria paradoxa, a plant of African origin, is used in cosmetics for its emollient and moisturizing properties. A good sunscreen, it also has firming and anti-wrinkle properties. It is therefore indicated both for suncare and after-sun products and for products to prevent skin ageing and treat dry and sensitive skin.

GLUCONOLACTONE

Gluconolactone is a plant-derived polyhydroxy acid, known for its particularly gentle exfoliating action, which makes it suitable even for sensitive skin. This polyhydroxy acid exerts a highly effective anti-aging action on the skin, as it prevents and counteracts the oxidative damage responsible for skin aging and neutralizes free radicals. Gluconolactone also has excellent moisturizing, lightening, and soothing properties.

ALOE VERA JUICE

Aloe vera juice has an anti-redness and softening effect on the epidermis. In the field of cosmetics, it is recommended in all products intended to protect irritated skin from the effects of external agents, while in suncare products it helps keep the skin fresh and well hydrated.

ARGAN OIL

Argan oil has important antioxidant, moisturizing, soothing, and emollient properties. Thanks to antioxidants and essential fatty acids, omega 3 and omega 6, it is one of the best remedies to combat skin aging and protect the skin from harmful external agents (sun, smog, wind).

SWEET ALMOND OIL

This oil widely used in dermatology and cosmetics is extracted from the seeds of the sweet almond. It is rich in proteins, carbohydrates, and minerals. It is suitable for all skin types, combats skin aging, and is used for the treatment of dry, reddened, and sensitive skin.

OLIVE OIL

Olive oil contains a concentration of functional ingredients, which means that when added to cosmetic formulas, it greatly enhances the eudermic effects, improving the physiological state of the skin. It has emollient, moisturizing, sebum-restoring, re-epithelializating, and UV filtering effects on the skin.

CALENDULA EXTRACT

Calendula is a perennial medicinal plant from which an extract is obtained that contains flavonoids, oleanolic acid saponins, and mucilages. It is particularly suitable for the treatment of delicate and sensitive skin, stimulating epithelialization, accelerating epidermal turnover, and promoting collagen synthesis.

ROSEHIP EXTRACT

The dog rose produces berry-like fruits from which substances useful in phytotherapy and phytocosmetics are extracted. Among these substances, vitamins A, B2, C, and B3, carotenes, and flavonoids stand out. In cosmetics, its extracts are used in emollient, anti-redness, moisturizing, and toning products.

VITAMIN E

The biological role of this vitamin is as an antioxidant: it protects substances such as unsaturated lipids from degradation by free radicals. This function is also important from a cosmetic point of view as it helps maintain skin elasticity by preventing premature aging, thanks to its protective effect on cell membranes. In addition, vitamin E also has good cosmetic moisturizing properties.

HYALURONIC ACID

This molecule is already found in the dermis as it is naturally produced by the skin. Hyaluronic acid is known for its particular structure that makes it able to trap water molecules. Thanks to this moisturizing property, it helps to restore the skin's tone and elasticity, leaving it plump and firm.

GAMMA ORYZANOL

Gamma oryzanol is obtained from bran and rice oil using a special separation and purification process. This substance has a strong antioxidant and moisturizing effect. Gamma oryzanol is also a natural UVA filter that protects the skin from oxidative stress and photo-aging.

GLYCOLIC ACID

Glycolic acid belongs to the family of alpha hydroxy acids; it is the simplest acid in the family, as well as one of the most active. Thanks to its low molecular weight, it is able to spread very quickly through the epidermis. It is found in high quantities in sugar cane extract. All AHAs are localized at the level of the epidermis, carrying out an exfoliating effect to promote skin renewal.

MANDELIC ACID

LACTIC ACID

Lactic acid is part of the AHA family (alpha hydroxy acids) and is naturally found in the skin's hydrolipidic mantle. It helps restore the physiological pH balance and protects the skin from damage by fungi and bacteria. Its cosmetic exfoliating effect helps reduce dark skin spots due to sun exposure, regulates keratinization by promoting faster cell turnover, and stimulates the synthesis of new collagen and elastin, leaving the skin smooth and soft.

VITAMIN A PALMITATE

Vitamin A palmitate, or retinol palmitate, is a type of vitamin A particularly known and used in cosmetics for its ease of absorption by the skin. It has an antioxidant effect, promotes the production of collagen, smoothes the skin, and improves its elasticity and tone.

DMAE

DMAE or dimethylaminoethanol, is a substance capable of regulating many basic cellular processes, which makes it very useful in the regeneration of the skin, which is continuously subject to oxidative stress and the consequent production of free radicals. Many studies have confirmed its powerful anti-aging effect.

ALLANTOIN

Allantoin is a multi-functional compound derived from plants, which has particular soothing, repairing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It is also considered an excellent moisturizer and promotes the absorption of other active ingredients, as it softens the stratum corneum to aid penetration.
