Phytoceramides: this unique, patented complex of plant ceramides is similar to those found in the skin (ceramides 2, 3 and 8). Ceramides are the main constituents of the skin's lipidic cement, representing 40% of the lipids in the stratum corneum. These lipids strengthen the skin barrier, making it less reactive and protecting it from external damage. A healthy skin barrier helps retain water in the skin and protect it from external damage. Ceramides help rebalance damaged and eczema-prone skin. They promote skin comfort and combat cutaneous dryness. This phytoceramides complex gives the serum a combined protective, moisturising and lipid-replenishing effect.
Phytosterols: extracted from pine, this extremely pure phytosterol is composed mainly of beta-sitosterol. It has the same structure (biomimetic behaviour) as cholesterol, an essential component of the skin's lipid cement (lipid cement is made up of ceramides + fatty acids + cholesterol). Phytosterols therefore help to strengthen the skin's barrier function and have a soothing effect by reducing inflammatory reactions. Phytosterols give this serum a combined soothing and lipid-replenishing effect.
Passion fruit oil: obtained by molecular distillation, a patented process, this oil is 10 times more concentrated in vitamin E than passion fruit oil extracted by cold pressing. It increases the spread of fibroblasts, promoting the synthesis of type I and III collagen fibres, elastin fibres and hyaluronic acid. It increases the spread of keratinocytes (epidermal cells), accelerating cell regeneration in the epidermis and improving skin healing and repair. This gives the serum its ability to restore and strengthen the skin barrier.
Physalis extract: ideal for soothing fragile, sensitive and eczema-prone skin, this natural active ingredient extracted from Brazilian physalis is proven effective in soothing itching, reducing redness and helping repair the skin barrier. It helps to regulate skin temperature and microcirculation, and particularly external damage, providing real protection for skin that reacts easily to cold, wind, heat, etc. It helps to reduce transepidermal water loss, keeping the skin properly moisturised, especially damaged or stressed skin. This gives the serum its protective, soothing, redness-combating effects.
Organic bisabolol: a fraction from the distillation of Candeia essential oil, bisabolol is a soothing and restorative active ingredient that is ideal for sensitive and fragile skin. It gives this serum its intense soothing effects.
Oat oil: exceptionally rich in ceramides and phytosterols, this oil has a soothing, protective, nourishing, restructuring and softening effect. Extremely rich in ceramides and phytosterols, this oil has a soothing, protective, nourishing, restructuring and softening effect. It gives the serum nourishing and protective properties.
Organic rice bran oil: soothing and calming thanks to the presence of phytosterols, rice bran prevents and combats skin ageing thanks to its complex of antioxidant and free radical-combating molecules. This oil gives the serum nourishing and protective properties.
Hyaluronic acid: 100% natural in origin, hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisturising and plumping active ingredient. It maintains and reinforces the skin's moisturisation. It gives the serum a moisturising effect.
