Arctalis

Årctalis is a marine active ingredient originating from deep cold waters near Greenland. It exhibits a strong wrinkle smoothing and firming action in 7 days whilst also hydrating the skin and protecting from blue light.

Bioecolia

Bioecolia is an oligosaccharide obtained by enzymatic synthesis from natural sugars. Bioecolia can help to protect and stimulate the skin's natural defences.

Blue Shield

Active ingredient obtained from French Red Bell Peppers which protects against the effects of blue light on skin.

Calcidone

Calcidone is the Calcium salt of L-PCA. Calcidone can help to reactivate cellular cohesion to help restore the epidermis, and also help to prevent dermal fibre degradation.

Camaderm

Camaderm is a fresh, organic Black Crowberry juice obtained by pressing in non-denaturing conditions. It can help to prevent stretch marks, improve microcirculation, and increase skin firmness.

Celloxyl

Celloxyl is an extract from Tapia leaves with antioxidant properties which can help to protect epidermal stem cells against UV aggression, protect fibroblasts against mitochondrial and membrane oxidation, and limit oxidative stress by modulating OXSR1 enzyme activity.

Ceramidone

Ceramidone is the Octyldodecyl Ester of L-PCA (L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid). Ceramidone has a structure similar to that of skin ceramides enabling it to help restructure the skin barrier.

Claritea PROV

Claritea PROV is obtained via the extraction of White Tea leaves (Camellia Sinensis, Paï Mu Tan variety) using water and Propanediol. It can help to remove skin imperfections by reducing redness, ageing dark spots and the appearance of peripheral blood vessels.

Cressatine

Cressatine is an active ingredient for hair care which is obtained via aqueous extraction of Watercress and Indian Cress leaves and shoots, stabilised with plant glycerin. Cressatine stimulates and prolongs hair growth and can strengthen hair from the roots.

D-Glycargine

Aqueous solution of Arginine PCA which fights against glycation (a principle cause of ageing) to help to recover skin firmness. It has both a preventive action (anti-glycation potential) and curative action (de-glycation) to help maintain the skin’s biomechanical properties. D-glycargine also helps to combat glycation-induced yellowing.

Detoxi-Look

A plant complex obtained via the cold co-pressing of two flowers, Everlasting and Daisy, which enhances radiance and detoxifies the skin

Ecoskin

Ecoskin is a pre/postbiotic complex which is spray dried onto Maltodextrin. It can help to optimise cutaneous ecoflora, strengthen biological defences, and improve skin radiance via a restructuring and smoothing effect.

Fucocert

Fucocert is an Ecocert approved, anionic polysaccharide that is rich in Fucose. Fucocert is a water soluble, multifunctional ingredient that can provide soothing, moisturising, anti-ageing, restructuring, touch and hair smoothing benefits to cosmetic formulations.

Fucogel Powder

Fucogel Powder is a water-free version of Fucogel 1.5P, an anionic polysaccharide rich in Fucose. It is a powder with a non-GMO maltodextrin carrier that offers new formulation opportunities.

Invincity

A concentrated form of Fucoidans (sulphated polysaccharides) that fights against pollution-induced ageing. It is produced by aqueous extraction of the intracellular polysaccharides of brown algae, Acophyllum nodosum

L-VCG

Stabilised Vitamin C derivative which provides Personal Care formulations with the performance of Vitamin C for skin health, reducing age spots and brightening, but with added stability.

Magnolidone

Magnolidone is the Magnesium salt of L-PCA. Magnolidone can help skin cells to regain their optimal energy level.

Matilook

Matilook is an active ingredient obtained by hydroglycerinated extraction of Quince Leaves (Cydonia oblonga) which has astringent properties. It is recommended for use in formulations to revitalise the appearance of oily skin by refining the skin texture and limiting skin shine.

Meiview

A marine active obtained from an extremophile microorganasim originating in Mallorca that provides broad spectrum eye care for both men and women.

Myristidone

Myristidone is the Myristyl Ester of L-PCA (L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid). Myristidone is a lipophilic PCA ester with anti-microbial properties. Specifically, it can limit the proliferation of Propionibacterum acnes.

Nalidone

Nalidone is the Sodium salt of L-PCA in a 50% aqueous solution. Nalidone is a physiological moisturiser used to ensure or restore an optimal level of moisturisation in the stratum corneum.

Nutricert Hair

Nutricert Hair is a milky preparation obtained by cold pressing rehydrated Jicama Tubers under controlled, acid hydrolysis conditions. Nutricert Hair can help to give a smooth effect from the roots to tips of hair, and a long-lasting gloss effect.

Nympheline PROV

Nympheline PROV is a vegetal active ingredient obtained via hydroglycolic extraction of Nymphaea Alba Flowers, which contains sugars and polyphenols. Nympheline helps to effectively purify the skin by acting as a free radical scavenger, thus reducing oxidation.

Pauseîle

A marine active ingredient originating from seas near Mauritius Island. It targets stressed, dry, and dull skin to boost hydration and luminosity.

Pidolidone Crystal

Pidolidone Crystal is L-PCA, obtained by cyclisation of Glutamic Acid, an amino acid of plant origin. Pidolidone Crystal is able to provide both immediate and long lasting hydration.

Resistress

Resistress is an extract of Sophora Japonica Flowers, enriched in quercetin dimers by enzymatic bioconversion. Resistress helps to restore skin to a calm state after oxidative stress.

Rhamnosoft HP NAT

Anionic polysaccharide with anti-inflammatory properties. It can inhibit cell adhesion and limit the propagation of inflammatory reactions in skin cells. COSMOS approved.

Saniskin

Saniskin is a unique alliance between two molecules: Myristyl PCA and δ-viniferin (obtained via bioconversion of Japanese Knotweed extract). Saniskin offers a 4-in-1 global action to help cope with acne-prone skin.

Seadermium

A marine active ingredient originating from the seas near Reunion Island. It is particularly efficacious on mature skin, plumping deep wrinkles in 14 days.
