Ancestral botanicals. Neuro-sensory formulation. Emotional alchemy.

The blood-red resin of the Croton lechleri tree is one of the most powerful actives in our formulary. Rich in proanthocyanidins and collagen-boosting flavonoids, it stimulates cellular regeneration, firms, and smooths fine lines, while acting as an antioxidant shield.

A sacred root of the Shipibo tradition, Piri Piri is our signature active. Its neuro-sensory properties work on two levels: it calms the skin's inflammatory responses while modulating the nervous system through scent.

The bark of Calycophyllum spruceanum is renowned in the Amazon for regenerating the skin. A gentle natural exfoliant, it stimulates cell turnover, evens the complexion, and reduces pigment spots.

The Sacha Inchi seed is one of the richest plant sources of essential fatty acids. Its oil absorbs quickly without a greasy film, nourishing the deeper layers of the epidermis.

Nicknamed the skin tree in traditional Mexican medicine, Tepezcohuite is rich in tannins, flavonoids, and saponins that stimulate dermal regeneration.

Derived from the resin of Daemonorops draco, the true Asian Dragon's Blood, this oil is transformed through fermentation with Saccharomyces yeast. This process naturally increases the oil's free fatty acid content, strengthening its texture, emulsifying capacity, and stability within our formulas, compared with the raw oil.

The Damask Rose is one of the most studied florals in emotional neuroscience. Its aromatic profile modulates the activity of the central nervous system. Its polyphenols and vitamins C and E restore radiance.

Rose absolute is the most concentrated form of the rose, obtained by cold extraction. Its emotional properties make it a neuro-sensory beauty active in its own right.

Bakuchiol is the reference anti-ageing active for retinol-like efficacy without the side effects: collagen stimulation, cellular renewal, and reduction of spots without irritation.

Hexylresorcinol is one of the best-documented brightening actives. It selectively inhibits tyrosinase, reducing melanin where it is excessive without bleaching uniformly.

Arrowroot starch is a natural mineral powder with exceptional absorbent properties. Its fine grain absorbs sebum without clogging the pores, while calming sensitive skin.

An Amazonian root nicknamed 'para toda' — for all things — Suma is rich in phytosterols, trace elements, and saponins. Used for generations as a general tonic by forest peoples, it brings a revitalising dimension to our formulas, for the skin as much as for the sensory experience of the ritual.

A cold-pressed oil from the seeds of the andiroba, a tree of the Amazon's flooded forests. Its wealth of fatty acids and limonoids, including andirobin, makes it a sought-after lipid for skin in need of comfort.

A plant butter from the seeds of the Astrocaryum murumuru palm, native to the Brazilian Amazon. Rich in oleic and lauric acids, it wraps the skin in a non-greasy protection, prized by formulators for its melting texture.

A small yellow flower of the daisy family, native to South America. Its active compound, spilanthol, has been studied by cosmetic research since the 2000s for its localised action on relaxing the superficial tissues of the face.

A bright yellow flower of the mountain meadows, arnica has been used since antiquity for its decongesting virtues. Its wealth of flavonoids makes it a recognised toning active that stimulates microcirculation and supports the skin's natural regeneration processes.

Salicylic acid is the only beta-hydroxy acid recognised in cosmetics. Its lipophilic structure lets it penetrate deep into the pores to dissolve excess sebum and residue that dull the complexion. Used at a low dose in our formulas, it acts as a gentle exfoliant without disrupting the skin barrier.

Allantoin is a molecule known for its exceptional tolerance. Naturally present in comfrey root, it is now produced synthetically to guarantee constant purity. Colourless and odourless, it integrates into our formulas to offer an immediate sense of comfort, without ever weighing down the texture.

Kaolin is the gentlest of the cosmetic clays. Made of hydrated aluminium silicate, this ultra-fine white powder acts like a mineral sponge: it captures excess sebum and everyday dust without irritating, unlike more absorbent clays such as bentonite.

Born from the meeting of white and red clay, pink clay inherits the best of both: the gentleness of kaolin and the toning virtues of illite. This mineral synergy makes it the most delicate clay in our formulary, designed for sensitive skin seeking clarity without aggression.

Emogreen 69 is a biosourced emollient born from the fermentation of plant sugars, designed as a sustainable, biodegradable alternative to silicone oils. It gives our textures their silky slip and non-greasy finish, while staying true to our clean-formulation standard.

Magnolia officinalis bark has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine to ease tension and restore balance. Rich in magnolol and honokiol, two molecules with recognised properties, it acts in cosmetics as a soothing and antioxidant active — echoing the serenity it evokes in the tradition it comes from.

Compritol 888 is a plant-derived texturising agent obtained from rapeseed oil. It structures our anhydrous textures and creams, giving them body while preserving a velvety, non-greasy touch. Discreet in its function, it is nonetheless essential to the hold and stability of every formula.

Oat oil is obtained by cold-pressing oat grains, preserving all of its polar lipids, ceramides, and antioxidants. Used for generations to soothe the most sensitive skin, it remains one of the best-documented actives for restoring skin comfort and suppleness.

A natural by-product of rice bran oil refining, this high-melting-point plant wax structures our anhydrous textures and balms. Its high crystallinity lets it bind lipids with precision, offering stable hold and a non-sticky touch, close to that of carnauba wax.

Derived from the combination of lauric acid and glutamic acid, this gentle surfactant belongs to the amino-acid derivative family. It cleanses effectively while preserving the skin's natural balance, without the sulfates responsible for the tightness of traditional cleansers.

Squalane is one of the molecules closest to human sebum, which explains its remarkable affinity with the skin. Extracted from the unsaponifiable fraction of olive oil, it is a superior replacement for animal-derived squalane — once sourced from shark liver — while offering the same resistance to oxidation.

Known as Epsom salt, magnesium sulfate is a natural mineral used for generations for its relaxing bath virtues. In cosmetics, it acts as an emulsion stabiliser and a gentle exfoliant, revealing visibly smoother skin after use.

Tocopherol is the active form of vitamin E, a powerful lipophilic antioxidant naturally present in plant oils. Beyond its protective action on the skin, it plays a discreet but essential role as a natural preservative, stabilising our lipid-rich formulas against oxidation.

Urea is a natural component of the skin's moisturising factor, whose levels decline over time. Used at a low dose in our formulas, it acts as a powerful humectant that retains water deep down, while offering a gentle exfoliating action that leaves the skin visibly smoother and more supple.

Obtained by fractionating coconut oil, this medium-chain triglyceride is one of the lightest and best-tolerated emollients in cosmetics. It penetrates quickly without leaving a greasy film and also serves as a natural solvent to evenly disperse the sensitive actives in our formulas.

Obtained by extracting dried tobacco leaves, this absolute unfolds warm, sweet, and slightly woody facets, close to hay and dried fruit. Used in trace amounts in our compositions, it brings depth and roundness, like a warm memory settling on the skin.

Contrary to what its name suggests, amber is not a single material but an accord built around labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla. This trio of resins recreates the enveloping, slightly powdery warmth that characterises so-called amber fragrances, and serves as a natural fixative prolonging the hold of our compositions.

Harvested from the bark of Styrax trees in Southeast Asia, this balsamic resin gives off a gentle warmth, close to vanilla, with a powdery touch. In perfumery, it serves as a base and fixative, bringing roundness and an enveloping dimension to our compositions.

Obtained by cold-pressing the zest of the citron, a Mediterranean citrus that is low in juice but richly fragrant, prized in fine perfumery for its tangy freshness, rounder than lemon. It opens our compositions on a toning, luminous note.

Extracted from coconut flesh and then refined to remove odour and colour, this oil rich in saturated fatty acids forms a protective film on the surface of the skin and hair fibre. Its stability and olfactory neutrality make it a reliable base for our rich formulas.

Extracted from the berries of the Rhus verniciflua tree, native to East Asia, this gentle plant wax melts at skin temperature, offering a silky, powdery finish. It also stabilises the structure of high-melting-point waxes, bringing softness and smoothness to our textures.

The root of a climbing vine native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, sarsaparilla has been used for millennia by Amerindian healers as a purifying plant. Rich in saponins, it helps cleanse the skin and improve its overall quality.

Nicknamed 'immortelle' because its golden-yellow flowers never fade, helichrysum grows on the arid, sunny soils of the Mediterranean basin, notably in Corsica. Reputed to be one of the most precious materials in natural cosmetics, it works deep down to regenerate and tone the skin.

Naturally present in every skin cell, coenzyme Q10, also called ubiquinone, sees its concentration decline with time and stress. Reintroduced topically, it acts as a dual ally: a powerful antioxidant against free radicals and a support for the cellular energy needed for skin renewal.

Also known as pot marigold, calendula is a bright orange flower traditionally used for its remarkable soothing action. Its exceptional tolerance makes it one of the most widely used actives in care for the most fragile skin, including that of the very young.
