The balance between the three fundamental mechanisms of natural hydration is disrupted by one of the many factors that contribute to the well-being of your skin: environmental conditions, age and genetics.

What are the 3 key mechanisms of hydration:

• Retains water in the skin with a vital barrier function
• Impregnates the skin with hygroscopic molecules
• Homogenizes skin hydration by improving water circulation

AQUAXYL^TM

Is a universal & complete solution made up of a patented complex of natural sugars. It helps dehydrated skin by acting on the 3 key mechanisms of natural hydration: reinforces the barrier function by stimulating ceramides synthesis, optimizes water reserves by boosting NMF and hyaluronic acid, and maximizes water circulation within the epidermis with its action on aquaporines and tight junctions. The barrier function is reinforced by the normalization of desquamation, boosting lipid cement (ceramides 1 & 2 by + 139% and cholesterol by + 61%) synthesis and impermeability of stratum corneum.  Numerous studies proved that. NMF(Natural Moisturizing Factor) are hygroscopic molecules that maintain water in corneocytes. Aquaxyl boosts the natural synthesis of NMF.  It optimizes the epidermal hyaluronic acid content by 31% and dermal hyaluronic acid content by 20% (in vitro and in vivo testing). Dermal chondroitin sulfate  is a highly hygroscopic polysaccharide with an important role in hydration and skin elasticity. Aquaxyl^TM optimizes its level by +184% (in vitro testing). Aquaporins 3 are proteins forming pores between cells ensuring water and glycerol distribution within the epidermis. Aquaxyl^TM increases the level of aquaporine 3. By boosting the synthesis of tight junction components Aquaxyl^TM helps the skin control water circulation in the epidermis. In short, Aquaxyl^TM is a synonym for ultimate skin hydration.

HYALURONIC ACID COMPLEX – 3D HYDRATION CONCEPT

Sodium hyaluronate corresponds to the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. The latter is one of the most important building blocks of the skin. Its exceptional capacity to retain water makes it a unique hydrating active ingredient. Sodium hyaluronate of different molecular weights is associated within this formula for complementary actions:

• Two of them, of very low molecular weight (20 to 50 kDa and 100 to 130 kDa), help to rebalance the level of hydration in the skin (in vivo and in vitro tests). This form of hyaluronic acid is known for its anti-aging properties. They reduce the first signs of aging on the skin. They retain the moisturizing properties of the skin by stimulating the production of endogenous hyaluronic acid and collagen. The skin gradually tones and regains suppleness and firmness (in vivo and in vitro tests)
• The third high molecular weight (1800 to 2200 kDa) forms on the surface of the skin a non-occlusive moisturizing film (in vivo test) which gives a soft and velvety appearance to the skin. The skin looks plump and glowing.

Softcell^Ⓡ

Softcell^Ⓡ is a new range of 100% natural, high quality eco-fiendly sheet masks. Its fine cellulose structure, from wood, has an absorption capacity to release serum during use. Second skin effect, this care fits perfectly the face contours and revels its transparency. Softer than silk and with high performance moisturising active ingredients this mask offers to the sensitive skin a high- end care. Genuine hydra boost that immerses the skin into bath of freshness.  Hyaluronic acid and Aquaxyl™  ensure long-lasting hydration, strenghten skin barrier by stimulating the syntesis of ceramides and limit water loss. Due to richness in sodium salt of hyaluronic acid it maintains the natural moisture of the skin. Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is a unique moisturising ingredient which  fights against early signs of ageing, boosts collagen production and stmulates production of endogenous hyaluronic acid.

The result is gorgeous, healthy-looking skin that goes beyond the screen.
