Brown algae

laminariaLaminaria cloustoni extract

This is a large algae found in the seas of Northern Europe and the Atlantic. It is easily recognised by its hooks, which are laid out in numerous whorls, each on top of the other. It is rich in iodine, mineral salts, vitamins, lipids and mucilage, which have an anti-oxidant action, leaving skin toned, elastic and smooth.

Mallow

malvaMalva sylvestris extract

Mallow, scientific name Malva silvestris L., belongs to the Malvaceae family and is a plant that has been known since ancient times for its extraordinary calming, refreshing, anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties. Originally from Europe, Mallow has now acclimatised to other continents too, such as Africa. The leaves are the part of the plant that is most used, which contain mucilage above all. Vitamins A, B1, B2, C and E are also present however, along with amino acids and tannins. Thanks to the high mucilage content, Mallow extracts are therefore characterised by excellent moisturising and emollient properties, reducing skin redness resulting from the excellent ingredients used to prepare cosmetics for dry, delicate skin and skin that reddens easily. Mallow mucilage is used to prepare creams, milks and masks that refresh and moisturise, after sun products and aftershave as well as mouthwashes designed to relieve congestion and soothe the mucous.

 

Raspberry

The raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) is a shrub from the Rosaceae family, of which the fruit by the same name, red in colour and with a slightly acidulous sweetish flavour, is much appreciated in food. It typically grows in open spaces within a woodland. It is easy to grow in temperate regions and tends to spread rapidly. The oil extracted from the raspberry seeds is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E. The raspberry, leaf and fruit extract also contains polyphenols and vitamins B and C. From a cosmetic viewpoint, it is used for its emollient, lubricant and skin conditioning properties. It creates a lipid barrier that can protect the skin whilst keeping it moisturised. It has aromatising, soothing and astringent properties. It also acts on the skin microcirculation, protecting and strengthening the blood vessel walls and improving circulation.

Manuka

manukaLeptospermone

Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium, Myrtaceae family) is a shrub native to New Zealand and South-East Australia. It belongs to the Tea Tree family. It is extraordinarily effective as a germicide, yielding significant therapeutic results in pathologies caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi. Essential Manuka oil fights pathogens more markedly than Tea Tree. It is an extraordinary aid for all types of inflammatory problems, improving the skin and leaving it more toned. It is a powerful, natural antibacterial, antibiotic, anti-mycotic, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and regenerative action. It creates a healing environment on the wound that allows the new cells to grow alongside the wound, preventing deformity of the skin and scarring; it quickly eliminates infection and destroys bacteria. It has anti-fungal properties and is therefore a valid aid in treating the Malassezia furfur fungus involved in the onset of dandruff.
