Corallina officinalis belongs to the family of Coralline algae, calcareous red seaweeds. Coralline algae play an important role in the ecology of coral reefs. Sea urchins, parrot fish, limpets(molluscs) and chitons (molluscs) feed on the microorganisms which dwell in its dense tufts. Corallina forms calcium carbonate deposits within its cells which serve to strengthen the thallus. It appears pink with white patches where the calcium carbonate is particularly concentrated. Corallina is found on solid rock on the north Atlantic coast, intermittently from Greenland to Argentina. Also in some parts of Japan, China and Australasia.

Concentrate coralline is an aqueous extract obtained by lixiviation of dried Corallina officinalis.

The seaweed is harvested by diving in the waters of the Pink Granite Coast in Brittany. To preserve the seaweed’s natural resources, this active ingredient is grown in a photo bioreactor.

Vitamin C  stimulates collagen production and stabilizes collagen fibers, which results in firmer skin, slightly thicker dermis and smoother texture. The main function of vitamin C is antioxidant and anti – aging effect. Because it neutralizes oxidative stress and UV damage, improves wrinkles, roughness and overall skin quality. Vitamin C also has brightening effect.

Caffeine is the ultimate slimming active ingredient. In addition to its stimulating and energizing properties, it is known to improve the appearance of the skin and enhance the contours of the figure.

Key mechanisms:

• Vasoconstriction (tightening blood vessels)
  Reduces redness, puffiness, and fluid buildup
• Lipolysis stimulation (fat breakdown signaling)
  Activates enzymes that help release fatty acids from fat cells (limited, local effect)
• Antioxidant activity
  Helps neutralize UV-induced free radicals

Microcirculation boost
Improves oxygen/nutrient delivery short-term

Guarana is a shrub native to Amazonia that is packed with active ingredients and

multiple benefits. Guarana seed extract is a natural, high-potency source of caffeine—often 2–4× richer than coffee beans. It has a firming and anti-cellulite effects, mainly through caffeine-driven mechanisms. It is also rich in theobromine and theophylline which support circulation and fat signaling. Polyphenols (tannins, catechins) provide antioxidant support.

Main effects of guarana:

1) Lipolysis signaling (fat-cell activity)

• Caffeine and related compounds inhibit phosphodiesterase which signals fat cells to release stored lipids
• Net effect: slight, localized reduction in fat-cell volume (appearance only, not fat loss)

2) Microcirculation boost

• Improves blood and lymph flow in the superficial dermis
• Helps reduce fluid retention, which contributes to the “dimpled” look

3) Tightening & smoothing

• Mild vasoconstriction + surface dehydration
• Skin looks firmer and smoother

4) Antioxidant protection

• Helps counter oxidative stress that can degrade collagen over time

The pomegranate oil is a very special oil due to its composition. It contains punicic acid also known as omega 5. Of all plant resources, this rare fatty acid is found only in the pomegranate seeds oil. It has strong anti-inflammatory properties and is an excellent antioxidant. Pomegranate is one of the best plants with anti-age effect in the world. It

removes free radicals and thus slows down skin aging and promotes the production of collagen. The gallic and egallic acid renew the sun-damaged skin. They contain two plant hormones or phytoestrogens that have a rejuvenating effect on the skin. The oil is rich on vitamin E.

Did you know we need more than 500 kilograms of pomegranates to produce only one litre of oil?
