Le Masque Du Temps Redensifiant Absolution 50ml

Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is bursting with benefits!  It contains omega-9 (monounsaturated fatty acids) that strengthen the skin’s hy-drolipidic film, so it feels supple and hy-drated. But that’s not all... It also contains polyphenols and free radical-fighting an-tioxidants. Then there’s stearic acid and palmitic acid-saturated fatty acids with film-forming and nourishing properties that help to protect skin against environmental aggressors. There’s also theobromine, the feel-good molecule found in chocolate that has a psychostimulant and mood-lif-ting effect (so that’s why we love chocolate so much!), and even caffeine, known for its invigorating properties.

Mango Butter
juicy flesh, but inside this fruit is a flat kernel that contains a valuable seed. When mango seeds are cold pressed, they yield a butter that’s rich in active compounds. Packed with antioxidants, phytosterols, and polyphenols – which help to slow down skin aging – and rich in Vitamins A, B1, B6, C and E, as well as copper, Mango Butter also contains squalene and fatty acids, both of which are essential for collagen production and skin hydration. Mango Butter is the perfect ingredient for soothing skin damaged by the sun or cold and restoring the hydrolipidic film.

Kombucha
Also known as long-life mushroom, this age-old remedy – which has been used for thousands of years in China and Mongolia – is now well known in the western world.  Kombucha is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and nutrients, which are more easily absorbed due to the fermentation process used to make it. Fermentation also has the advantage of increasing the concentration of active ingredients, through the phenomenon of biosynthesis. Considered an adaptogen, this ingredient has antioxidant and hydrating benefits, promotes cell renewal, and is excellent for skin that lacks energy. It helps to improve radiance by preventing and slowing down glycation, which can play a major role in skin aging.  It also stimulates the synthesis of lipids by adipocytes, thus helping to restore volume to hollow areas. Basically, it provides a sort of natural, self-generated, lipofilling effect!

Gingko Biloba
Called a living fossil, the Ginkgo Biloba tree is incredibly tough and resilient and has lived on Earth for over 250 million years. For centuries, it’s been used in Asia for its therapeutic, circulation-boosting, and oxygenating properties. In cosmetics, it’s mostly used for its high concentration of flavonoids, and because it tones and promotes drainage, thus helping to firm tissues. It contains sesquiterpenes, with soothing benefits, making it ideal for sensitive and irritated skin, while its ability to improve microcirculation helps to relieve redness, for a more even, radiant complexion.
