Properties:

Antibacterial: Inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, bacteria involved in the pathogenesis of acné.

Anti-inflammatory: Soothe and calm skin prone to inflammation or redness, in particular by reducing the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Antioxidant: Protect the skin from the attack of free radicals, known to induce the formation of premature signs of aging, by increasing the levels of the cofactors NAD and NADP in cells.

Astringent: Reduce the size of dilated pores to that of origin by reducing the quantity of sebum produced by the sebaceous glands.

Lightening: Blur the appearance of brown spots by inhibiting the transfer of melanin from melanosomes present at the base of the epidermis to neighboring epidermal cells (keratinocytes).

Moisturizing: Reduce transepidermal water loss and maintain moisture content in the skin by strengthening the skin's barrier function supported by increased ceramide production in the stratum corneum and acceleration of keratinocyte différentiation.

Photoprotective: Reduce the incidence of new skin cancers, by increasing the energy of cells irradiated by sunlight, reducing the level of immunosuppression induced by UV radiation and improving DNA repair.

Firming: Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin elasticity by stimulating the natural production of collagen in the dermis and epidermal proteins (keratin, filaggrin and involucrin).

Sebostatic: Balance excess sebum production, thereby controlling the formation of acne lesions and clogged pores.

Usage name: Provitamin B5, D-panthenol, Dexpanthenol, Pantothenol, D-pantothenyl alcohol.

INCI: Panthenol.

Benefits:

Healing, softening, detangling, regenerating, soothing, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, densifying, hygroscopic.

Properties:

Panthenol, or ProVitamin B5, is an active ingredient commonly used to formulate cosmetic treatments. Easily absorbed by the skin, this derive from pantothenic acid is highly appreciated for its compatibility with many ingredients and its gentleness. Panthenol is also great for reducing feelings of tightness. In fact, it acts as a humectant to retain the water present in the epidermis of the scalp, which minimizes transient water loss (TEWL). Panthenol thus helps maintain the skin barrier, which prevents irritation.

Furthermore, ProVitamin B5 has restorative and healing effects useful for taking care of weakened scalps. Several studies have in fact demonstrated that this active ingredient could stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts, an important process in the formation of new tissues and the remodeling of wounds. This active ingredient is involved in healing like CXCL1, CCL18 and CYP1B1, thus allowing faster re-epithelialization.

Usage name: Ascorbic acid, Vitamin C.

INCI: Ascorbic Acid.

Benefits:

Antioxidant, lightening, depigmenting, regenerating, unifying, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, restructuring.

Properties:

Antibacterial: Reduce the appearance and appearance of imperfections (pimples, etc.) by inhibiting the proliferation of bactérie.

Anti-inflammatory: Prevent and reduce redness by inhibiting NF-kB, a transcription factor involved in the immune response and responsible for the activation of a certain number of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Antioxidant: Protect intracellular structures from oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals in the aqueous compartments of the cell by giving up an electron in order to make them stable and less reactive, in addition to playing a role in the regeneration of vitamin E, another antioxidant.

Depigmenting, lightening, unifying: Reduce the visibility of brown spots by inhibiting tyrosinase, an essential enzyme in the synthesis of melanin, then interrupting mélanogenèse.

Regenerating: Improve the appearance and rigidity of the skin by having the ability to trigger the differentiation of kératinocytes.

Restructuring: Bring firmness and suppleness to the skin in order to slow down the appearance of signs of aging by stimulating the fibroblasts of the dermis to intensify the production of collagen, in addition to promoting the synthesis of hydroxyproline, an essential component for the formation collagen fibers.

Usage name: Gluconolactone.

INCI: Gluconolactone.

Benefits:

Keratolytic, moisturizing, photoprotective, solvent, antioxidant, soothing, chelating, anti-inflammatory, preservative.

Properties:

Gluconolactone is an organic acid belonging to the category of polyhydroxy acids (PHAs). It is present in nature, particularly in honey, fruit juices and wine in small quantities. Initially used in food as an additive, it is also widely used as a functional ingredient in cosmetic products. Gluconolactone consists of a lactonic nucleus which, under the hydrolytic action of the moisture of the skin, releases gluconic acid, at the origin of the activity of the molecule. It also has many hydroxyl groups (-OH).

Usage name: Collagen Tripeptides.

INCI: Tripeptide-29

Benefits:

Anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, anti-dehydrating, firming, toning, plumping, revitalizing.

Properties:

It is the BEST of collagen, the most powerful and effective collagen currently available on the market.

Tripeptide collagen does not contain any derivative of animal origin or GMO. exceptional results at a very low dose.

First of all, this anti-aging active ingredient has a molecular mass of 285 D, which is extremely small. Consequently, it penetrates the skin very easily, which is an asset.

Its strength is its dual function: An action to resorb wrinkles and firm the skin An action to stimulate collagen production. This is why tripeptide collagen is capable of increasing collagen production by three and densifying the structure of the skin.

Then, the tripeptide collagen is ideal for anti-aging and anti-wrinkle care.Indeed, it tones, firms sagging skin and acts on wrinkles and fine lines.

Finally, tripeptide collagen increases the elasticity and firmness of the skin and helps to reshape the contour of the face.

Usage name: Aloe Vera.

INCI: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder.

Benefits:

Moisturizing, antioxidant, repairing, soothing, regenerating, tightening, protective, purifying, lightening, anti-inflammatory, emollient, healing.

Properties:

Moisturizer: Aloe vera gel behaves like a humectant, that is, it retains water in the superficial layers of the skin. This character is linked to its biochemical composition rich in hygroscopic species and amino acids (histidine, serine, arginine, threonine, glycine), which improve water retention in the epidermis.

Soothing: Aloe vera is a great ally for calming skin redness linked to overexposure to the sun. It also relieves skin prone to itching and irritation of all kinds.

Tensor: Aloe vera gel, both in topical application and ingestion, helps effectively fight against the signs of skin aging. Researchers attribute this property to the presence of acemannan in the gel, a molecule capable of stimulating collagen production.
