Vitamin C, in its fat-soluble ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate form, is very stable. This highly bioavailable form quickly penetrates the upper layers of the skin and converts into pure vitamin C within the skin, regulating tyrosinase activity and, consequently, the melanin production process within the skin. In addition, it limits the transfer of melanin from melanocytes to skin cells (keratinocytes) in the upper layers of the skin, thereby reducing the appearance of pigmentation spots.
It thus provides this serum with its antioxidant, anti-spot and radiance-boosting properties, while acting on the signs of aging in a comprehensive manner.
Glabridin is a molecule obtained by oleo-eco-extraction from licorice root extract. It has natural anti-dark spot and brightening properties. It acts directly on tyrosinase, reducing melanin production and therefore the appearance of brown spots. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an ideal active ingredient for skin prone to redness or pigmentation irregularities. By evening out the complexion and soothing the skin, it enhances the serum's brightening and anti-dark spot effect.
Astaxanthin: Extracted from a microalgae, Haematococcus pluvialis, astaxanthin belongs to the carotenoid family and has unrivalled antioxidant properties. Its antioxidant protection is:
1,500 times greater than curcumin
770 times greater than coenzyme Q10
100 times greater than vitamin E
Its lipophilic and hydrophilic structure provides comprehensive protection for skin cell membranes, offering complete antioxidant protection. It is the perfect ally in combating the effects of aging, sun exposure, UV rays, and smoking, and protects the skin from the effects of oxidative stress.
This microalgae is cultivated in closed bioreactors (glass tubes) in Austria, in a production unit that works to the highest quality standards, notably by using 100% electricity from renewable sources. Astaxanthin is extracted from the algae using supercritical CO2 extraction, an eco-friendly technology that does not use any chemical solvents and produces a very high-purity active ingredient. The CO2 used is 100% biogenic and completely recycled in the process. It contributes to the antioxidant properties of the serum.
Camellia vegetable oil is a valuable ingredient in skincare thanks to its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids, particularly oleic acid. It penetrates easily without leaving a greasy film, making it an excellent base for a serum. It intensely nourishes the skin, improving its elasticity and natural radiance. It thus supports the antioxidant, regenerating, protective, and illuminating actions of this formula.
Hyaluronic acid, a leading biomimetic active ingredient for hydration, acts as a real "water sponge" in the skin. It plumps up the tissues, smooths fine lines and improves skin texture. By promoting optimal hydration, it helps reveal a more luminous and even complexion. Its indirect action on cell regeneration also makes it an ally in preventing and reducing premature skin aging by strengthening the skin's firmness and suppleness. It perfectly complements the active ingredients in this serum by promoting healthier-looking, better-regenerated skin.
Squalane is a biomimetic lipid derived from olive oil that mimics the skin's natural sebum. It restores the lipid barrier, prevents dehydration, and improves skin softness. Thanks to its stability and antioxidant power, it protects the skin from external aggressions and oxidative stress, helping to slow down the signs of aging. It also provides a silky, luminous finish, enhancing the serum's radiance-boosting effect.
