Niacinamide
It eliminates all signs of fatigue and intensely hydrates for fresh, younger-looking skin.
Heating element
The molecule activates certain sensory receptors in the skin to provide a warming sensation and relax muscles and tension.
Arnica
Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it soothes tired feet and relieves aches and burning sensations.
Bamboo extract
Concentrated in silica, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to regenerate and strengthen the skin's structure.
Glaucine
By stimulating micro-circulation, it firms the skin, activates fat drainage, and reduces the appearance of cellulite for a more even look.
Noni leaf extract
Particularly rich in bioactive molecules (polyphenols, vitamins, amino acids...), it helps maintain optimal cellular activity, and thus stimulates skin renewal while protecting against oxidative stress.
Natural mother-of-pearl
They deposit an iridescent, enhancing veil on the skin to help reflect light.
Sesame oil
Nicknamed the "Golden Pearl" in Morocco and a symbol of longevity, it prevents dehydration, protects against aging, and improves skin elasticity thanks to its fatty acids and antioxidants.
Candlenut oil
It forms a protective film to help retain water in the skin, leaving the skin soft, hydrated, and supple.
Sebum-regulating complex
The rebalancing complex combines sebum control, pore size reduction, and antiseptic action to stop the appearance of blemishes and make the skin clearer.
Chaulmoogra oil
A rare symbol of healing and care, it boasts purifying properties, soothes irritations, promotes regeneration, and strengthens the skin barrier thanks to its unique fatty acids.
Cellulosomes® and Chronodyn®
Inspired by chronobiology principles, the complex regenerates and rebalances the skin's cellular metabolism to effectively erase signs of fatigue and stress.
Arbutin
Known for its effectiveness on pigmentation, it inhibits the production of melanin responsible for the formation of spots and regulates hyperpigmentation. Pigment spots are faded day after day.
Anti-aging shield
The protective ally activates the skin's natural defenses to fight against oxidative stress and stop the damage caused by external aggressions.
Silk Tree & Chrysin Complex
A combination of two natural active ingredients, they combine anti-puffiness and anti-dark circle action by stimulating the detoxification systems and strengthening the skin's microvascular network.
Hyalu complex
Formulated with a synergy of hyaluronic acid and glucuronic acid, the complex works on the surface and deep down to capture and retain water molecules while stimulating natural hyaluronic acid synthesis, for intensely hydrated and smoother skin.
Silk protein
Naturally produced by butterflies, it brightens the complexion and provides a silky, mattifying feel.
Ceramide-booster
The molecule strengthens cellular cohesion: it helps cells produce more lipids while strengthening their bond for stronger, better protected skin that is less prone to dehydration or external aggressors.
Retinoid-like complex
Formulated to act like a retinol, it promotes skin renewal, improves epidermal thickness and restarts collagen synthesis, all without inflammation, for skin that feels like new.
Bisabolol
An excellent soothing molecule, it inhibits inflammation, reduces redness, and calms sensations of discomfort, heat, or tingling.
Phytophenols
The plant molecule reduces sebum oxidation responsible for the appearance of imperfections while reducing associated inflammation and redness. It also purifies the skin to prevent microbial imbalances and ensure clearer skin.
Glycolic acid
Known for being the smallest of the AHA acids, it effectively penetrates the epidermis to stimulate cell renewal and accelerate the elimination of dead cells, for smoother skin and a unified, radiant complexion.
Phytoceramide
Derived from tonka bean, the molecule reproduces the natural structure of skin ceramides to revitalize and strengthen the skin barrier for more comfortable skin, free from tightness or dehydration.

Derived from the resin of tropical trees and named after its blood-red colour, the plant extract acts as a protective shield while repairing the skin barrier. It combines anti-inflammatory properties and regenerative action to stimulate collagen production and promote tissue repair.
Hyaluronic Acid
Thanks to its low molecular weight, it penetrates deeper into the skin to immediately plump and smooth dehydration wrinkles.
Mango butter
Extracted from the fruit kernel, mango butter possesses exceptional nourishing and regenerative properties. It envelops the skin in a protective film, helping to strengthen the skin barrier, provide softness, and retain moisture in the skin.
Rice micro-powders
Inspired by the traditional Balinese Lulur, rice provides a gentle mechanical exfoliation to remove impurities and dead cells from the surface and stimulate cell renewal without irritating the skin. Rich in starch and vegetable lipids, it has a softening effect and prevents water loss.
Phyto-protective complex
The powerful cocktail of antioxidant plant extracts protects the skin from oxidative stress caused by pollution, forming a protective shield to limit the adhesion and penetration of pollutant particles into the skin. The skin is re-oxygenated, balanced, and radiant.
