The ingredients and composition of our organic cosmetics

Nature is a source of efficiency and beauty! Our skin care products are made from natural ingredients or ingredients of natural origin, i.e. transformed in processes that respect the skin and the environment. We believe in natural, healthy & active cosmetics. Our exclusive active ingredient, derived from Akane apples and apple leaves, is obtained in a 100% green extraction process.

We favour local sourcing for ingredients, so we have established partnerships with suppliers located in the department or region of our laboratories. (34).

Our cosmetics are designed in Paris and then manufactured in France, in Lunel. For the apples, we bring them from Corrèze. These gestures are important to us and allow us to offer you products that respect nature and the environment. On our site, you will find all our ranges of creams, make-up removers, masks and accessories. For each article, we specify the composition. This way, you know exactly what you are putting on your skin.

Moisturizing active ingredients

HYALURONIC ACID OF 100% NATURAL ORIGIN

Healthy, active and natural ingredients

Hyaluronic acid is an essential component of the skin belonging to the family of glycosaminoglycans. It plays a decisive role in many physiological mechanisms, particularly in the dermal extracellular matrix. In fact, it plays a decisive role in many physiological mechanisms, particularly in the dermal extracellular matrix:

- It helps prevent water loss and increases the skin's natural hydration.

- It fills the space between the collagen fibers, it behaves like a viscous medium that supports the extracellular matrix. It therefore helps to maintain the elasticity, tone and density of the skin.

- It also influences many cellular processes: collagen synthesis, regulation of cell proliferation and migration. It thus attenuates the roughness of the newly formed epidermis, leaving the skin supple & soft.

Like a molecular sponge, hyaluronic acid is able to retain more than 1000 times its weight in water, it contributes to the hydration of the skin, restores its elasticity and smoothes its surface. However, with time, the level of hyaluronic acid diminishes. It is estimated that at the age of 50, the skin contains only 50% of the hyaluronic acid it had in childhood. The skin is drier, less elastic, less plumped up and wrinkled.

How is the hyaluronic acid in Akane skin care products obtained? The hyaluronic acid used in Akane skin care products is 100% natural and is obtained by bio-fermentation of wheat. The hyaluronic acid used in Akane skincare products therefore comes from natural and renewable raw materials. Its manufacturing process is environmentally friendly and Ecocert & Cosmébio certified. It creates a protective film on the skin that acts as a real reservoir of hydration for soft, plumped-up skin. You will find hyaluronic acid in the Crème Fondante Hydratante, the Masque Cocon Nocturne and the BB Crème Velouté Teintée.

PURE ORGANIC ALOE VERA JUICE

Healthy, active and natural ingredients

Aloe Vera is a plant of the Aloe family that thrives in warm latitudes: Mexico, Middle East, southern United States.

It is the large leaves that shelter the generous Aloe jelly with its many beneficial properties for the skin.

It has been used for thousands of years in a wide variety of regions. Cleopatra is said to have used it mixed with donkey's milk for her beauty care. It is its large leaves which shelter the generous Aloe jelly with multiple beneficial properties for the skin. Aloe Vera jelly contains no less than 200 components: minerals, vitamins, nutrients that give it multiple properties.

- Vitamins: mainly A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C

- Amino acids: 7 out of 8 essential and 11 out of 14 secondary. They promote the regeneration of skin tissue (multiplication of keratinocytes, fibroblasts).

- Enzymes

- Mono & polysaccharides: Sugars are able to retain large quantities of water (moisturizing effect), make the skin smooth and elastic, and absorb wrinkles.

Aloe Vera jelly has both a strong hydrating power and the ability to retain water in the cells of the epidermis. Indeed, it contains a water rich in minerals and vitamins that feed the cells. This moisturizing power is reinforced by the presence of mono and polysaccharides (sugars) which have the capacity to retain water.

A real cocoon of hydration for the skin! Some brands use dehydrated Aloe Vera powder for economical and practical reasons. This is a pity because dehydration of the gel causes it to lose most of its properties. Only the use of fresh and native aloe vera juice, not heated, allows to preserve at best all the vitamins, nutrients and active ingredients of Aloe Vera. Therefore, it is better to use Aloe Vera leaf juice rather than Aloe Vera juice powder.

You will find pure native organic Aloe Vera juice in the Moisturizing Infusion Jelly and the Fresh Cleansing Jelly.
