All PHOTOGENA FACIAL TREATMENT CLEANSER ingredients
Laminaria Hyperborea Extract
Laminaria borealis (Laminaria hyperborea) seaweed extract, obtained through an innovative cold cryoextraction process that preserves vitamins, minerals, and natural polyphenols. This revitalizing ingredient helps to rebalance and purify the skin, promoting hydration and leaving a feeling of freshness. Rich in polysaccharides and trace elements, it supports skin regeneration and contributes to a more toned and energetic appearance. It gives the skin softness and vitality, while respecting sustainability and responsible harvesting of kelp forests.
Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract
It is a natural ingredient rich in anthocyanins, known for their antioxidant properties. It helps protect the skin from the visible signs of daily oxidative stress, contributing to maintaining a healthy and vital appearance. Sourced from sustainable crops, it allows for complete use of the raw material, in line with the principles of the circular economy.
Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Oil
Extracted from the fruits of Euterpe oleracea, açaí oil is a natural ingredient that combines sensory performance and functionality. Rich in essential fatty acids and tocopherols, it has an immediate emollient effect, helping to improve skin elasticity and strengthen the barrier function.
Derived from responsible supply chains, it supports a formulation approach that is mindful of the environment and biodiversity.
Oenocarpus Bataua Fruit Oil
An ingredient of Amazonian origin, rich in fatty acids, particularly omega 9, Patauá oil helps improve skin hydration and keep the skin soft and supple. Thanks to its light and silky texture, it is recommended for comforting the skin, even in cases where it appears dry or dehydrated. Regular application helps improve the overall appearance of the skin, leaving it visibly smoother and nourished.
