EPSOM SALTS
Epsom salts take their name from the English town of Epsom, where they were discovered in natural mineral springs. Also known as bitter salts, they are primarily composed of magnesium sulphate, a water-soluble mineral valued in cosmetic body care.
They have purifying, soothing and gently exfoliating properties. They help remove dead skin cells, soften the skin and improve its overall appearance.
Used in body-care products, Epsom salts also provide a pleasant sensation of freshness, relaxation and comfort to areas affected by sensations of fatigue or heaviness.
ESCIN
Escin is a natural blend of saponins extracted from horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum). It is valued in cosmetic body care for its draining, antioxidant, toning and vasoprotective properties.
It helps support superficial microcirculation, maintain tissue comfort and improve the appearance of areas affected by water retention, redness or sensations of heaviness.
Thanks to these properties, Escin is frequently used in cosmetic products intended for tired legs and areas affected by the appearance of cellulite. It helps the skin appear smoother, firmer and more even.
DEAD SEA SALTS
Dead Sea salts are naturally rich in minerals, particularly magnesium and potassium. They are valued in body-care products for their purifying, revitalising and soothing properties.
They help remove dead skin cells, maintain skin hydration and improve the appearance of dry, dull or uncomfortable skin.
Thanks to their osmotic properties, they also help improve the appearance of areas affected by water retention and provide a sensation of freshness and lightness. After application, the skin appears smoother, more toned and revitalised.
CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT
Centella asiatica extract, also known as Asiatic pennywort, is naturally rich in triterpene compounds such as asiaticoside and madecassoside.
These active compounds help support the skin’s natural production of collagen and maintain its elasticity. Thanks to its soothing, toning and regenerating properties, Centella asiatica is particularly suitable for cosmetic care of skin affected by reduced firmness or unevenness associated with the appearance of cellulite.
It also helps support cutaneous microcirculation and maintain smooth, supple and toned skin. It can therefore be a beneficial ingredient in the cosmetic body-care routine of women living with Lipedema, although it does not treat the condition.
BUTCHER’S BROOM EXTRACT
Butcher’s broom extract is obtained from Ruscus aculeatus. It is naturally rich in ruscogenins and other botanical compounds.
It is valued in cosmetic body care for its toning, soothing and protective properties. It helps support peripheral microcirculation and maintain the comfort of sensitive skin or skin with visible capillary fragility.
It is frequently used in body-care products designed to provide a sensation of relief and lightness, reduce the visible appearance of redness and improve the skin’s overall appearance.
