IS THIS PRODUCT FOR ME?

It is suitable for normal skins in need of moisture, regardless of their maturity.

The 8 Plant Milks:

Lupine milk

Lupine is a plant with long stalks crowned with a palm leaf composed of leaflets and floral clusters. The powder seeds are applied to dermatitis and used in sprays and facial masks to purify and invigorate tired skin. Lupine milk is obtained by macerating the seeds in water and then in lupine oil. Due to its healing properties and cellular regeneration capacities, it is particularly recommended for damaged and tired skin.

Acacia Flower milk

The acacia is a spiny tree with rich foliage, fragrant flower clusters and flat, brown pods. It is used in phytotherapy to regulate the levels of certain antibodies. The floral milk is obtained by macerating the flowers in oil, then in water. It is used for the emollient and softening properties of its flowers and for its high content of polysaccharides, which helps the skin surface to maintain hydration.

Yellow Pea milk

The pea is an annual plant native to the Mediterranean region. It is a climbing plant with leaf tendrils and soft stems. The leaves are composed of wide, blue-tinged leaflets and the large white flowers yield long, bulging pods filled with round seeds. The pea is highly nutritive and rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. Yellow pea milk is obtained by macerating the peas (seeds). It has regenerating and restructuring properties due to its rich protein content. It is also hydrating as it contains serine (b-hydroxy acid).

Green Tea milk

The tea tree is a shrub with pointed, serrated, shiny leaves that are rich in tannins. The essential oil is full of flavour and aroma, while the tannin adds strength and colour. Tea tannins are polyphenols similar to those of grapes and they have astringent properties. Tea is also rich in vitamins. Green tea milk is extracted from the plant by pressing the leaves, then macerating them in water and tea oil. It is used for its astringent and toning properties while its fatty acid content gives it nourishing and softening properties. It is recommended for damaged and tired skin.

Sweet Almond milk

Almonds are very rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, magnesium, potassium, calcium, trace elements and vitamins with toning and anti-fatigue properties. Almond milk has softening, hydrating and restructuring properties.

Oat milk

Oat is the grain with the highest protein content, and has excellent biological properties. It is also very rich in essential fatty acids (linoleic, oleic, palmitic), vitamins and minerals. It is an excellent toner and replenishing agent, recommended for a lack of vital energy. Due to its lipid/protein complexes, oat milk has a remarkable softening effect on the skin.

Coconut milk

Coconut milk, extracted directly from the nut, naturally contains fatty acids and water. It has softening, hydrating and restructuring properties. It is an excellent film-forming agent.

Soy milk

This climbing leguminous plant of Asian origin and tradition resembles pea and broom plants and has red, white or mauve flowers. The major benefit of soy is its complete protein content. It is by far the legume that contains the most protein. Moreover, these are the only proteins that can rival animal proteins (up to 40 g of protein for 100 g of product). The seeds supply “complex carbohydrates” (high but slow energy yield). Soy milk is obtained by grinding the yellow soy seeds and macerating them in soy oil and then water. Soy milk is chosen for its emollient, softening properties that leave the skin supple. It is rich in protein and nourishes and restructures the skin.

The 4 Essential Oils:

Neroli Absolute

This rare and expensive absolute is derived from bitter orange flowers. It takes its name from an Italian princess who used to drench her skin with it. Its inimitable orange blossom fragrance is one of the most marvellous elements used in aromatherapy. It is an anti-depressant, particularly used to treat anxiety and stress. It also makes a good antiseptic. It is renowned for its ability to stimulate cell growth, which gives it skin-rejuvenating qualities. It can be used by all skin types and is particularly recommended for dry or delicate skin.

PetitGrain essence

Petit Grain oil is obtained from the bitter orange tree. Petit Grain is obtained through distillation of the leaves. Over the past centuries, it was extracted from oranges harvested while they were still green and no bigger than a cherry, thus the name “petit grain” (“small seed”). Petit Grain has a fresh scent and a light floral fragrance that resembles Neroli oil. It is used in cosmetics for its balancing properties.

White Orange zest essence

The orange tree is native to the Far East (China and India). Essential oil is extracted by pressing sweet orange zests. Orange oil has a warm, enveloping scent with calming and anti-fatigue properties.

Siberian Pine Needle essence

Pine essential oil is obtained through distillation of the pine needles. It has a fresh, invigorating and stimulating scent.

The 5 Plant Saps:

Mamaku

Or Cyathea Medullaris, is a large fern that grows only in New Zealand and a few islands in the South Pacific. Used frequently by the Maoris, it treats wounds and accelerates the healing of cuts. The sap extract comes from the leaves, which are rich in polysaccharides with high molecular weight.

Cape Aloe

Or Aloe Barbadensis Miller, is a succulent plant that grows in the sandy, limestone soils of semi-desert regions with hot, dry climates. The leaf pulp is used as it is very rich in polysaccharides.

Barbary Fig

Or Opuntia Vulgaris, is native to Central America and Mexico. It grows wild in dry areas. Considered to be a sacred plant by the Pre-Colombians, it is rich in aquifer tissues and is characterised by its racket-shaped stems. It is very rich in mucilage, sucrose, proteins and protids.

Bamboo

Or Bambusa Vulgaris, is a plant with persistent leaves that grows in the Far East and tropical regions. The sap is extracted from the stalk which is rich in carbohydrate.

Sugar Cane

Or Saccharum Officinarum, is a giant grass native to Oceania. The sap (a sweet juice) from the stalk is extracted. It is composed of 15 to 20% sucrose, mineral elements (calcium, phosphorus, etc.) and glycolic acid.

Hydration, our skin’s primary source of beauty

Everyone, from our mother to the dermatologist agrees that hydration is vital for our skin to preserve its suppleness, softness and youthfulness. And this applies to all skin. Even oily skin is subject to dehydration at any given time. And when our epidermis needs moisture, it feels tight and uncomfortable all the time. It feels rough to the touch. In short, our skin is in extreme need of moisture.

It’s important to remember that our skin has a natural double hydration system:

The first is the dynamic system, i.e. water from the dermis. The dermis is our natural water reservoir. It contains 80% water, representing 10 to 15% of all the water contained in the human body. Only this water can nurture the epidermis, as it is a non-vascularised skin tissue. The water is diffused to the core of the cells by aquaporins, the renowned transmembranal molecules that form channels specialised in carrying water on the cell walls. This movement is called transepidermal hydric flow.

The second is the static system, i.e. water contained in the stratum corneum. This skin layer is capable of trapping 9 times its weight in water. Its good cohesion and solidity ensure the barrier function of the skin, thus preventing transepidermal water loss. We lose up to 600 ml of water in 24 hours. Therefore, it is vital to slow this “loss” of water to the external environment. And to do so, our skin has 2 sources:
The "NMF" (Natural Moisturising Factor, composed of amino acids, urea, etc.) present within the corneocytes, traps water inside the cells.

The intercellular lipidic bonds and hydrolipidic film. These two elements play a role in retaining moisture.

This natural double hydration system would be sufficient in ideal living conditions. However, the environment, cold, heating, smoking and stress, to name just a few, can dry out our skin. This is when our CRÈME FRAÎCHE® de Beauté FORMULA steps in, for intense hydration and pure delight.
