Le Masque Riche Réconfortant

One of the most widely used medicinal plants, Aloe Vera is used to treat burns, including sunburn, to heal wounds and to combat cellular aging. Its composition is very interesting: like a cactus, it contains over 99% water. The remaining 1% is a very potent synergy of 12 vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, B12, C, E...) but also numerous minerals, trace elements and amino acids.

The oil extracted from hemp seeds is rich in omega 3 and 6, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid. It helps to protect against external aggressions, providing the skin with elements essential for its structure and to maintain its youthfulness.

With moisturizing and repairing properties, shea butter helps to combat skin aging, prevent stretch marks and protect the skin. It softens all skin types, even the most sensitive, relieves itching and irritation, helps to diminish stretch marks and promotes healing. It even protects against sun damage!

A natural anti-stress mineral, it inhibits muscle micro-contractions, which, over time, cause wrinkles and fine lines to form.

Rich in fatty acids, this oil helps to regenerate skin and soothe irritations. It contains many natural antioxidants (vitamin E, lecithin and sesamolin), which help to protect cells from oxydation, therefore preventing the early signs of skin aging. It's also an excellent oil for sensitive and reactive skin that seek comfort.

Nourishes, protects and restructures. Avocado Butter is excellent for mature and/or very dry skin. It is rich in linoleic acid (omega 6), oleic, palmitoleic and palmitic acids.

Cocoa butter is bursting with benefits! It contains omega-9 (monounsaturated fatty acids) that strengthen the skin’s hydrolipidic film, so it feels supple and hydrated. But that’s not all... It also contains polyphenols and free radical-fighting antioxidants. Then there’s stearic acid and palmitic acid – saturated fatty acids with film-forming and nourishing properties that help to protect skin against environmental aggressors. There’s also theobromine, the "feel-good molecule" found in chocolate that has a psychostimulant and mood-lifting effect (so that’s why we love chocolate so much!), and even caffeine, known for its invigorating properties.

Called a "living fossil," the Ginkgo Biloba tree is incredibly tough and resilient, and has lived on Earth for over 250 million years. For centuries, it’s been used in Asia for its therapeutic, circulation-boosting and oxygenating properties. In cosmetics, it’s mostly used for its high concentration of flavonoids, and because it tones and promotes drainage, thus helping to firm tissues. It contains sesquiterpenes, with soothing benefits, making it ideal for sensitive and irritated skin, while its ability to improve microcirculation helps to relieve redness, for a more even, radiant complexion.

Also known as "long-life mushroom," this age-old remedy – which has been used for thousands of years in China and Mongolia – is now well known in the western world. Kombucha is rich in amino acids, vitamins and nutrients, which are more easily absorbed due to the fermentation process used to make it. Fermentation also has the advantage of increasing the concentration of active ingredients, through the phenomenon of biosynthesis.

Considered an adaptogen, this ingredient has antioxidant and hydrating benefits, promotes cell renewal, and is excellent for skin that lacks energy. It helps to improve radiance by preventing and slowing down glycation, which can play a major role in skin aging. It also stimulates the synthesis of lipids by adipocytes, thus helping to restore volume to hollow areas. Basically, it provides a sort of natural, self-generated, lipofilling effect!

Mango is best known for its delicious, juicy flesh, but inside this fruit is a flat kernel that contains a valuable seed. When mango seeds are cold pressed, they yield a butter that’s rich in active compounds.

Packed with antioxidants, phytosterols, and polyphenols – which help to slow down skin aging – and rich in Vitamins A, B1, B6, C and E, as well as copper, Mango Butter also contains squalene and fatty acids, both of which are essential for collagen production and skin hydration. Mango Butter is the perfect ingredient for soothing skin damaged by the sun or cold, and restoring the hydrolipidic film.
