Effectivity
This essential care for the body allows to preserve the youth and the softness of the skin. Its fluid and non-greasy texture penetrates quickly into the epidermis and does not stick to clothes. It nourishes in depth and improves the elasticity of your skin. It is the ideal complement after a day of sun, after the bath or the shower.

This massage will not only allow your skin to absorb the product but also to circulate your blood.
A good body lotion must meet several criteria to be of quality.
It must be able to nourish thanks to a sufficient quantity of fatty acids of vegetable oils, to hydrate by bringing the water which the skin needs by limiting the dehydration, and it must leave the flexible and soft skin to avoid the small tuggings.
But it must also penetrate quickly without sticking so that you don’t have to wait before putting on your clothes.

Conservation
At a temperature lower than 25°C and protected from the light. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes.
Main active ingredients
Allantoin
Allantoin is a nitrogenous chemical compound discovered by Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin
Among plants, it is found in the roots of comfrey.
PROPERTIES AND BENEFITS OF ALLANTOIN:
As a cosmetic ingredient, the active cosmetic allantoin is recognized for these properties:
-> Active repairerparexcellence: it regenerates the tissues and helps in the acclimatization.
-> Hydrating: it maintains the cutaneous hydrolipidic film.
-> Calms irritations: anti-inflammatory, it soothes irritations and light wounds (razor burn, depilation, skin attacked by the sun, laser, cracked hands and feet).
-> Emollient and softening.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, a high molecular weight polysaccharide formed by a linear chain of disaccharide units of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine.
Properties and benefits of hyaluronic acid:
Hyaluronic acid is an important molecule for the youth and beauty of the skin. It acts as a moisturizing, firming, anti-wrinkle, regenerating and redensifying agent. It is constantly renewed, but with age, the synthesis is slower, less good and less abundant, resulting in a decrease of the natural capital. It is estimated that at age 50, the epidermis contains only 50% of its initial capital. Hence the interest in adding to one’s beauty routine skin care products containing this essential ingredient, regardless of age.
Its main properties :
HYDRATANT/HYGROSCOPIC: retains water in the tissues. Hyaluronic acid can absorb up to 1000 times its weight in water.
FILMOGEN: high molecular weight hyaluronic acid forms a film on the surface of the skin, thus giving the impression of filling in fine lines.
REPULPANT: low molecular weight hyaluronic acid penetrates the epidermis where it absorbs water.
Lactic Acid
Lactic acid is a member of the fruit acid family. It is in fact an acid of natural origin, extracted from the sugar contained in certain fruits (AHA). It can be obtained in two ways: either through a sugar fermentation process using Lactobacillus bacteria or it can also be made synthetically.
Properties and benefits of lactic acid :
First of all, it acts as a humectant and pH regulator, allowing to inhibit the growth of other micro-organisms foreign to the skin.
It is an ingredient that also gently exfoliates all dead skin cells, but does not attack sensitive skin because it acts gently. This will reveal a new skin underneath.
Lactic acid also regulates the horny layer of the epidermis, interacting with keratin. This gives it a slight exfoliating effect: the horny layer thus becomes thinner and more supple, ideal in the case of all types of imperfections: whether it be impure skin, acne, psoriasis problems and keratinization disorders.
It stimulates the synthesis of collagen. Collagen, this natural protein, present in our body which ensures the cohesion, the elasticity and the regeneration of our fabrics in order to maintain them firm and tonic.
Lastly, it favors a good hydration of the skin.
Lactose
Lactose is the main sugar (or carbohydrate) naturally present in milk and dairy products. Lactose is made up of glucose and galactose, two simple sugars that are used directly by our bodies as a source of energy. Lactase, an enzyme, splits lactose into glucose and galactose.
Properties and benefits of lactic acid.
This ingredient has several functions, the most common are:
Skin care agent: its role is to keep the skin in good condition.
Lactose is used as an excipient in cosmetics to help maintain or restore the hydrolipidic film around the epidermis. This film, slightly acid, protects our body from external aggressions.
Humectant, its role is to maintain moisture in the product throughout its use.
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid or 2-hydroxybenzoic acid is an aromatic organic compound, one of the three isomers of hydroxybenzoic acid, consisting of a benzene ring substituted by a carboxyl group (benzoic acid) and a hydroxyl group (phenol) in the ortho position.
PROPERTIES AND BENEFITS OF SALICYLIC ACID:
Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent (exfoliant), skin care agent and preservative approved by Ecocert. It is used in cosmetics for its properties: purifying, regenerating, antiseptic, astringent, anti-inflammatory, sebo-regulating, anti-irritant and soothing.
The salicylic acid stimulates the cellular renewal and allows the skin to regenerate involving then many benefits on:
-> The complexion: rid of dead cells that dull the complexion, the skin is more radiant. For skin prone to post-inflammatory or photo-induced hyperpigmentation, salicylic acid, by eliminating the melanin-filled cells accumulated on the surface of the stratum corneum, reduces pigmentation spots for a more even complexion.
-> Younger looking skin: stimulated, cell renewal induces skin renewal for a smoother skin.
-> Acne: cell renewal inhibits the formation of blackheads by preventing the blockage of pores that cause acne.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in the hematological and nervous systems and has a complex relationship with the skin. Alterations in cobalamin levels can lead to dermatological manifestations, which may indicate a deficiency or excess of this vitamin.
A retrospective and prospective study of 63 individuals with vitamin B12 deficiency showed that 41% had skin and mucosal changes, with glossitis in 31%, hyperpigmentation in 19%, ankle changes in 9%, angular stomatitis in 8% and vitiligo in 3%. Vitamin B12 plays an important role for the skin and various skin findings are associated with cobalamin deficiency.
PROPERTIES AND BENEFITS OF VITAMIN B12:
-> Topical cobalamin has shown promise as a safe treatment for atopic dermatitis.
-> Vitamin B12 helps regulate pigment production in the skin, helping to prevent dark spots and pigmentation (see photo). It boosts the metabolism and detoxifies it while firming the skin.
-> Vitamin B12 improves the quality of the skin, especially the complexion. This vitamin is also a powerful antioxidant that makes the skin less oily and controls the appearance of dandruff.
Whey Protein / Whey Peptides
Bioactive milk peptides are found in all milk proteins, whether caseins or the major (β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin) or minor (lactoferrin) fractions of soluble milk proteins. Peptides are the building blocks of protein production in your body. When amino acids bind to each other, they form chains called peptides. Once these peptides are formed, they come together to create proteins.
They have a powerful cellular activity preserving the quality and youthfulness of the epidermis.
Properties and benefits of Whey Protein / Whey Peptides :
Skin maintenance agent, Skin protection agent, Hair conditioner, antioxidant, anti-aging Humectant.
Regenerating: By promoting collagen production, some polymers improve the regeneration of the extracellular matrix.
Moisturizing : Keratin-based peptides by improving skin hydration and elasticity levels promote hair and epidermis repair.
Brightening: Peptides are often used for their depigmenting activity.
Some have the ability to block the synthesis of melanin (responsible for skin pigmentation), they slow down the formation of pigmentary spots and can fade them
