Brightening (Oxygenation)

Brightening your skin through oxygenation means that it helps the skin use oxygen more effectively, boosting its natural energy production and improving its ability to repair itself from within. By supporting cellular respiration, it helps the skin function more efficiently, especially when exposed to stress, fatigue, or pollution. At the same time, it strengthens the skin’s microbiome and barrier, creating a healthier environment for oxygen exchange while protecting against external aggressors. As a result, the skin becomes clearer, more balanced, and better equipped to maintain its own recovery and performance over time.

Microbiome Balancing

Microbiome Balancing involves maintaining a healthy balance of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses) that live on your skin. Your skin's microbiome is crucial for protecting against pathogens, regulating pH, maintaining a healthy barrier, and ensuring optimal hydration. A balanced microbiome leads to clearer, healthier skin that’s more resilient to irritation and inflammation. Probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics are key ingredients that support a healthy microbiome. Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria, prebiotics fuel the growth of good bacteria and help balance pH, and postbiotics enhance hydration and strengthen the skin barrier. This combination helps your skin stay healthy and vibrant.

Nourishing

Nourishing skincare focuses on providing a deeply comforting, soothing, and softening experience with richer product formats. Ingredients like oils and ceramides nourish your skin barrier, replenishing essential lipids and hydration to boost resilience and suppleness. These formulas leave your skin feeling nurtured and instantly improve rough texture. Well-nourished skin is less prone to dryness, dehydration, and sensitivity, giving you a more radiant and healthy appearance.

Hydrating

Hydration is all about the water content in your skin that keeps it supple and healthy. Humectants, ingredients with water-binding properties, deliver this hydration by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere. For the best results, apply hydrating serums right after a shower. Humectants not only replenish your skin's hydration but also enhance its water retention, creating a long-lasting hydration reservoir. Adding humectants like hyaluronic acid to your routine will restore your skin's healthy glow, minimize fine lines, and provide a plumping effect.

Repairing

Repairing your skin means restoring cells damaged by external factors like UV rays and free radicals, which can harm cell DNA and slow regeneration. Although our cells naturally repair themselves, this ability weakens over time due to ageing and repeated environmental exposure. Active ingredients can boost this natural process, preserving your skin's health, elasticity, and radiance. By supporting skin cell repair, these ingredients combat premature ageing and help maintain a firm, plump, and toned complexion.

Melatonin

Melatonin is a bioactive antioxidant naturally produced by the skin that works at the mitochondrial level to improve how cells use oxygen and generate energy. Unlike surface-level antioxidants, melatonin penetrates deeper, where it protects the respiratory chain from oxidative stress and supports ATP production, helping skin maintain its internal repair processes more effectively. By enhancing cellular efficiency and reducing the impact of environmental stressors, it helps the skin recover from fatigue, pollution exposure, and urban aggressors. It is ideal for dull, stressed, or depleted skin, and especially for those needing improved cellular function and stronger resilience against external damage.

Yeast Extract

Yeast extract is a bio-fermented active that helps rebalance the skin’s microbiome while regulating excess sebum and reducing congestion or dullness. By supporting a healthier microbial environment, it limits the growth of unwanted bacteria on the skin’s surface, helping to purify and refine texture without stripping or irritation. Its enzymatic action also encourages gentle cellular turnover, which helps lift away built-up dead skin cells and improves clarity, contributing to a brighter and more even complexion. Furthermore, yeast helps to reinforce barrier function so the skin remains more stable, resilient, and less reactive over time. This makes yeast extract especially effective for skin that is unbalanced, oily-tendency, stressed by urban pollution, or in need of both soothing repair and a clearer, healthier surface environment.

Saccharide Isomerate (PENTAVITIN)

Saccharide Isomerate, also known as PentavitinÆ, is a carbohydrate complex derived from plants that closely resembles those found in human skin. It serves multiple functions in skincare: first, it acts as a prebiotic, supporting a healthy balance of microorganisms on the skin's surface, which is crucial for maintaining skin health.

Secondly, Saccharide Isomerate functions as a powerful humectant. This means it attracts moisture from the environment and binds it to the skin, acting like a "water magnet." This ability helps to deeply hydrate the skin, making it appear plump, smooth, and intensely moisturised.

Studies have shown that Saccharide Isomerate can increase skin hydration levels for up to 72 hours after application, making it an effective ingredient for providing long-lasting hydration and maintaining skin moisture balance.

Phospholipids

Plant-Based Lamellar Phospholipids mimic the lipid structure of the skin barrier. Acting like a "Second Skin" it creates a protective film on the skin, supporting the skin repair processes and preventing Trans epidermal Water Loss (TEWL), which is loss of moisture through the skin, for a more hydrated, nourished and strengthened skin.

Sunflower Seed Oil

Pressed from the seeds of Helianthus Annuus, Sunflower Oil is a biologically active plant lipid with a high concentration of Linoleic Acid and Vitamin E. It enhances skin hydration, soothes inflammation, and supports skin regeneration. By stimulating collagen metabolism and reinforcing the lipid barrier, it helps to mitigate the damaging effects of UV exposure and environmental aggressors, contributing to improved skin resilience and suppleness.

Dandelion Extract

Dandelion extract is a botanical active rich in antioxidants and protective sugars that helps shield the skin from pollution particles while supporting its natural detoxification processes. It works by reducing the oxidative stress and inflammation caused by urban aggressors, which helps calm irritation and prevent dullness linked to environmental build-up. It also assists in maintaining a balanced skin microbiome and supports the removal of surface impurities, helping keep the skin clearer and more refined. Its soothing and reparative properties also help reinforce the skin barrier, making it better able to defend itself against external triggers that can lead to sensitivity or uneven tone. This makes dandelion extract especially beneficial for skin exposed to pollution and suffering from an uneven complexion.

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate)

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (LMW-HA) is a smaller, more penetrative form of hyaluronic acid. Unlike high molecular weight forms that primarily hydrate the skin’s surface, LMW-HA has the ability to penetrate deeper into the epidermis, where it attracts and binds water to maintain optimal moisture levels from within. This deep hydration helps improve skin elasticity, firmness, and smoothness, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and dehydration-induced wrinkles. Additionally, LMW-HA supports skin barrier repair and enhances overall suppleness, making the complexion look plumper and more resilient. It is ideal for dehydrated, dull, or mature skin, and especially those in need of long-lasting hydration and improved texture.

New Biologique Recherche Oxygenating Complex

The Biologique Recherche Oxygenating Complex combines melatonin, yeast extract, and Lactobacillus ferment to help the skin use oxygen more effectively inside its cells. Melatonin acts directly on the mitochondria — the “power stations” of the cells — to improve how they convert oxygen into energy, which allows the skin to repair itself more efficiently. Yeast extract supplies essential cofactors such as peptides, amino acids, and B-vitamins that the skin needs to run these energy-producing reactions smoothly, almost like giving fuel and tools to the mitochondria. Lactobacillus ferment helps rebalance the microbiome on the surface of the skin, reducing micro-inflammation and creating a calmer, healthier environment where oxygen can circulate more freely. Phospholipids then help these actives penetrate into the upper layers of the epidermis, and dandelion extract protects against pollution-induced stress that otherwise blocks oxygen exchange. Together, they don’t add oxygen from the outside — they help the skin breathe and function better on its own, supporting more efficient repair, protection, and cellular renewal.
