Details

Properties

  • Antioxidant: Combatting the formation of free radicals caused by UVA rays that can damage key dermal components involved in maintaining skin structure, skin cells, or induce lesions on DNA or even the release of mediators of epidermal inflammation;

  • Anti-redness, brightening: Reviving the complexion's radiance, evening out and illuminating the skin tone by preserving the blood microcirculation through inhibiting the release of nitric oxide at the endothelial cells level, a liposoluble gas that triggers a chemical reaction causing the relaxation of blood vessels (vasodilation);

  • Protective: Enhancing natural protection against the assault of light radiation (UV and visible light);

  • Firming: Preserving the firmness, suppleness, and elasticity of the skin by maintaining the level of major components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) such as proteoglycans (hyaluronic acid), collagens, and elastins;

Applications

  • Facial Care(creams, balms, lotions, milks, serums, mists, oils);

  • Makeups (foundations, complexion correctors).

Means of Preservation

Store in a cool, dry place at a temperature not exceeding 40°C and with a relative humidity of 65%.

A plant of Eastern civilisations, Indian jasmine originates from tropical Asia. Its unique white petals unfurl at sunset to better release its universal fragrance. Also known for its sacred character in Asian religions and its symbolism, it is recognised for its sense of purity, gentleness, femininity, and nobility. In topical application, the cellular extract of jasmine can be used to mitigate the damage caused by UV rays. Enriched with γ-mangosteen in addition to their own active molecules, the plant cells increase the bioavailability of all the assimilated actives they deliver to the skin to strengthen the skin's biological protection, thus maintaining a firmer and more radiant skin.
