Tamanu Leaf Oil (Calophyllum Inophyllum) is especially effective in treating and soothing acne, stretch marks, dry skin, sun damage, roseacea and rashes including eczema. The leaf comes from a tree considered sacred in Polynesia. The tree bears green fruits that contain a nut from which is extracted the famous tamanu oil. It is rich in several anti-age and antioxidant molecules such as flavonoids and terpenoids which are very efficient free radical scavengers. This makes it an ideal ingredient to protect the skin from the effects of oxidative stress (pollution, smoke or ultraviolet rays). Pharmacological studies have shown that tamanu offers benefits like hydration, regeneration, anti-inflammation and healing.

Verbena Extract, derived from the herbaceous verbena plant, is anti-inflammatory, sedative and relaxant. It soothes wounded skin. This flower is also known as vervain.

Squalane (not to be confused with Squalene) is an extremely stable, natural, organic compound derived from olive and one of the most effective oils to combat aging of the skin. Very light and non-greasy, it moisturizes, revitalizes and protects. It is recommended for all skin types. It is antibacterial and rich in antioxidants.

High tech natural compound Aquaxyl is a combination of molecules extracted from wheat, this ingredient promotes skin’s own hydrous flow. Aquaxyl is composed of Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, and Xylitol, all three of which are natural sugars found in fruits, vegetables and plant-life. It is gluten-free.

1. Aquaxyl deeply hydrates to increase water reserves in the skin. It has been proven by corneometry analysis that Aquaxyl improves epidermal water content and stimulates the synthesis of GlycosAminoGlycans (GAGs) that are responsible for trapping water within the skin. This action delivers an immediate and long-term moisturizing effect. 

2. Aquaxyl also forms a protective film on the skin which prevents water from evaporating. In vivo clinical studies have shown that Aquaxyl increases the synthesis of ceramides, the major constituent of the skin’s protective barrier. It has also been demonstrated that Aquaxyl decreases trans-epidermal water loss. It makes the skin stronger and more resistant to harm from external influences.

The result of Aquaxyl is that desquamation is normalized and the micro-relief of the skin is smoothed. This potent ingredient exhibits proven efficacy in hydrating and restructuring skin cells. The skin is better equipped to fight external aggressions when it is well and powerfully restructured and moisturized. Aquaxyl offers a three-dimensional hydration concept:

1) the optimization of water circulation through all layers of the skin
2) the establishment of a water-retaining barrier in the skin within 24 hours
3) the smoothing away of fines lines for softer, properly desquamated skin in 28 days.

By establishing a greater reserve of moisture in the skin while also impeding loss of moisture, the cutaneous barrier is reinforced and the skin smoothed, hydrated and restructured.
