Anti-ageing: the best natural ingredients to use

A cosmetic active ingredient is an essential ingredient used in our skincare products to provide certain benefits: anti-ageing, moisturising, purifying, lifting properties, and more. Active cosmetics are our allies in responding to the various problems encountered by our skin and hair. Natural in origin, concentrated and effective, our active ingredients come in a variety of forms.

We offer a wide range of cosmetic active ingredients that can be easily incorporated into our neutral bases and your home cosmetics recipes to create your own personalised care products.

In our concentrated serums, the active ingredients are already pre-dosed to provide the best concentration and, therefore, the best efficacy.

In our natural oils, whether that's our essential oils or plant oils, the natural active ingredients of plants are harnessed to care for your skin or hair.

The use of cosmetic active ingredients in skincare formulations is essential for a number of reasons. Here are some key elements to consider:

• Targeted efficacy: Active cosmetic ingredients are chosen specifically for their unique properties. They provide a solution to specific skin concerns, such as dehydration, lack of radiance or imperfections.

• Customised skincare: By incorporating specific active ingredients, formulations can be adapted to different skin types and individual needs, offering a tailor-made approach for each user.

• Constant innovation: The cosmetics sector is evolving rapidly, with new active ingredients emerging regularly. This makes it possible to incorporate scientific advances and natural ingredients to expand the options available on the market.

• Sensory experience: Cosmetic actives can also play a role in the sensory experience of skincare products, contributing to pleasant textures and enjoyable sensations on application.

• Compliance with standards: Using recognised and validated active ingredients ensures that products comply with current regulations and meet consumer expectations in terms of safety and quality.

Active cosmetic ingredients are at the heart of skincare formulations, providing a multitude of benefits for the skin. Here are some of their key benefits:

• Intense hydration: Many active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, help to maintain the skin's moisture levels, leaving it plump and supple.

• Cell regeneration: Certain active ingredients, such as retinoids, promote cell renewal, which can help improve skin texture and reduce the signs of ageing.

• Protection from external aggressors: Ingredients, such as antioxidants (Vitamin C and Vitamin E), protect the skin from free radicals generated by pollution and environmental stress.

• Balancing the complexion: Active ingredients, such as salicylic acid or liquorice extract, can help to even out the complexion and reduce imperfections, giving a more radiant complexion.

• Soothing irritation: Plant extracts, such as aloe vera or chamomile, are known for their soothing properties, helping to calm sensitive or irritated skin.

• Collagen production stimulation: Certain active ingredients, such as peptides and vitamins, help to stimulate collagen synthesis, improving the skin's elasticity and firmness.

• Improved elasticity: Regular use of targeted active ingredients can help to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Spilanthes: for a natural face lift effect

Spilanthes, also known as 'plant Botox', is a plant native to Brazil and Africa that has remarkable firming and smoothing properties for the skin. It is rich in alkylamides. These compounds have a stimulating effect on collagen production. Spilanthes helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The combination of spilanthes and hyaluronic acid in a concentrated serum offers a number of combined benefits, including reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving firmness and elasticity, and giving a 'Botox' effect.

Spilanthes and Hyaluronic Acid Concentrated Serum

This serum is particularly suitable for mature or tired skin, helping you regain firmness and radiance. Thanks to the combined power of spilanthes and hyaluronic acid, it stimulates collagen production, smooths facial features and provides an immediate tightening effect. Used daily, it restores the skin's suppleness and natural radiance.

Wrinkles corrected, skin plumped up, facial contours redefined, neck remodelled: this certified organic anti-ageing cream is proven effective on 8 signs of ageing. Dedicated to mature skin, its innovative formula combines firming and lifting vegan collagen, spilanthes extract with its plant Botox effect for anti-wrinkle and smoothing, and plumping, moisturising hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid: the essential moisturiser

Did you know that from the age of 50, we lose half of the hyaluronic acid naturally present in our skin, which is responsible for its suppleness and tone?

Hyaluronic acid retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water. So, particularly in the form of low-molecular-weight microspheres capable of acting deep down, it helps to keep skin supple, hydrated and plump, and even 'fills in' wrinkles.

It also stimulates collagen renewal and elastin fibres that keep the skin firm and elastic.

When using cosmetic active ingredients, it is important to take certain precautions to guarantee their effectiveness and the safety of your skin:

• Spilanthes: Carry out a patch test on a small area of skin and avoid contact with the eyes.

• Hyaluronic acid: Apply to clean, slightly damp skin. Start with moderate applications to assess tolerance.

• Bakuchiol: Use a sunscreen if applied in the morning and consult a dermatologist if your skin reacts to it.

• Vitamin C: Keep products away from light and air, and avoid mixing them with exfoliating acids.

• Glycolic acid: Start with occasional applications (1 to 2 times a week) and moisturise the skin well after use.

• Retinal: Night-time use is preferable and avoid combining it with other irritating active ingredients.

• Complementary ingredients: Consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or are undergoing dermatological treatment.

To optimise the use of your cosmetic active ingredients, introduce each new active ingredient gradually into your routine. This will allow you to assess your skin's tolerance and adapt your skincare products to its specific needs. A gentle, attentive approach promotes radiant, healthy skin!
