AFA - Aphanizomenon Flos Aquae

AFA is a blue-green algae naturally found in Klamath Lake in Oregon (USA). Cerule has researched the use of AFA in skincare. Clinical studies show a rapid reproduction of skin cells within 24 hours of treatment. AFA, also known as Aphanizomenon Flos Aquae, accelerates the process of cell regeneration and repair throughout the skin as early as 2 hours after the initial application.

BLUE THISTLE STEM CELL - Eryngium maritimum

The extract of blue thistle stem cells exerts an overall repairing and regenerating effect by stimulating cellular proliferation. It protects the epidermis from UVA aggression and oxidative stress. With an increased production of elastin and collagen, the skin will experience a complete firming and plumping action. The skin’s hydration levels are increased, remaining hydrated for up to 8 hours after application.

JAPANESE CEDAR BUDS

A natural extract of Japanese cedar buds are picked by hand to help stimulate epidermal renewal. Rich in energetic phytochemicals, this extract helps to stimulate the cell renewal process that is naturally slowed down by skin aging and accelerates the complete recovery of the skin permeability barrier. Now completely restructured, the skin is soft, smooth and hydrated, providing a visibly younger appearance.

SEA LAVENDER FLOWERS

This extract of sea lavender flowers protects the skin from premature aging and skin dryness caused by environmental stressors: air conditioning, cigarette smoke and pollution. This ingredient, objectified for its anti-radical activity, stimulates the synthesis of collagen and natural Hyaluronic Acid and results in a 16% increase of cell renewal while providing the skin with intense hydration.

MARINE EXOPOLYSACCHARIDES

Marine exopolysaccharides help to reset major functions of the skin restoring health, uniformity, hydration and radiance:

• Stimulates the renewal of the epidermis
• Strengthens innate immunity (by reducing bacterial growth)
• Reduces inflammation and skin reactivity
• Restarts the hydration mechanisms in the skin through the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid

GLYCOPOLYMERS

Natural glycopolymers extracted from plants and red algae form a network similar to a natural biofilm protecting and lifting the skin. This network works like a tight mesh that provides a natural barrier against external factors and its tensor effect smooths the skin.

ALARIA SEAWEED - Alaria esculenta

Alaria seaweed extract has a revitalizing and plumping effect. It boosts ATP or cellular energy synthesis, stimulates collagen synthesis, and activates the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid and glyco-amino-glycans. The effectiveness of the anti-aging properties in this product provides an optimum effect on the skin.

PROBIOTIC - Lactobacillus Pentosus

Probiotic strain Lactobacillus Pentosus, acts on the overall balance of the skin microbiota by protecting the skin from external aggressions, accelerating skin regeneration and strengthening the barrier function of the skin. It helps to promote healthy and beautiful skin.

AROMATIC WATER OF GORSE FLOWERS

Aromatic water of gorse flowers stimulates the release of beta-endorphins of epidermal cells which trigger a relaxing and calming action providing an immediate comforting sensation for the skin.

AQUAXYL® - Complex glucose-xylitol

3 moisturizing properties:

• Instant and prolonged hydrating power restructures the skin barrier by trapping free water molecules, thus strengthening the properties of Hyaluronic Acid.
• Promotes self-hydration by stimulating the synthesis of ceramides naturally found in the epidermis. Boosts the biosynthesis of natural Hyaluronic Acid which acts as the main water resource of the epidermis.
• Regulates the scaling of the epidermis by smoothing its surface.

RED ALGAE GEL

Red Algae Gel brings radiance and brightness to the skin. It contains Chondrus crispus extracts, also known as Sea Lichen - a red algae that lives on the coastal rocks. This algae is rich in sulfated polysaccharides, essential amino acids, vitamin C, magnesium, iodine, iron, copper and zinc.

VITAMIN E

An intense antioxidant that protects the skin’s natural defense barriers to help combat free-radical damage. In particular, Vitamin E reduces UV-related cell damage which can lead to premature aging.

PURE ISOTONIC SEAWATER

Revitalizes and remineralizes the skin by synergistic diffusion of minerals and trace elements. These elements and mineral salts are essential for cellular vitality and work in perfect harmony with the cells’ original environment. The cells recognize this environment as their own and take what they need to promote a revitalized and soothing effect on the skin.
