Multifunctional bio-emulsifier: A new, naturally derived bio-emulsifier that uses plant-based lipoproteins and lipoamino acids to create a texture with a fine, homogeneous microstructure by incorporating lipids of varying texture and polarity. Oils and plant-based butters enrich the oily phase of the emulsion; however, all formulas, even those with a high lipid percentage, are non-greasy with a soft, silky texture and are kind to the skin, with moisturizing and softening properties. Sebo Balance Cream's bio-emulsion forms a thin, skin-friendly hydrolipidic film on the skin, while boasting a delicate and sensory texture. The bio-emulsifier selected by Lakshmi is the ideal ingredient for natural skincare that respects both people and nature.
Jojoba oil: is a true "liquid wax" (97% esters: unsaturated fatty acids and unsaturated alcohols). It is non-greasy and is used in cosmetics, like shea butter, due to its unsaponifiable matter content (approximately 50%). It does not go rancid. It is rich in vitamins and minerals. This oil has excellent skin-restructuring properties and is a perfect carrier for essential oils. It is also a natural sunscreen. A light-textured yet deeply penetrating oil with balancing properties, it is perfect for oily and acne-prone skin as well as dry and dehydrated skin. It has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties and is used to relieve many skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema, and flaking. In Ayurveda, it is considered a balancing oil for all three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha).
Grapeseed oil: light and non-greasy, emollient, elasticizing, and rich in antioxidants thanks to its high linoleic acid and polyphenol content. It also protects the skin, stimulates microcirculation, and has astringent and firming properties. Rich in vitamin F, it is also suitable for thin, delicate, and sensitive skin.
Niacinamide: Also known as vitamin B3, it plays a key role in softening and repairing the skin barrier. This compound is one of the most commonly used cosmetic ingredients in skincare formulas for dyschromia, acne-prone, and red skin.
Hyaluronic acid: Sodium hyaluronate (the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid) is an essential substance that provides deep and long-lasting tissue hydration, visibly reducing the signs of environmental stress and the passage of time. Its characteristic ability to attract and retain water molecules in tissues also improves skin elasticity. When applied to the skin, it forms a film that prevents moisture evaporation. Sodium hyaluronate also supports the proliferation of endothelial cells, which protect against UV radiation and improve skin circulation. Thanks to its composition, it combines perfectly with vitamins, trace elements, and other active ingredients effective for treating any skin imperfection.
Milk thistle extract: rich in silymarin, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Milk thistle extract also contains proteins and mucilage, which promote good hydration of the epidermis.
Dandelion: rich in vitamins, minerals, and active ingredients. The phytocomplex is characterized by the presence of caffeic acid and its derivatives. Fenchone and anethole give the extract skin-purifying properties.
Burdock root extract: It promotes healthy skin physiology and has a decongestant and purifying effect. It has a balancing effect on the sebaceous glands. Mucilage has soothing properties; polyacetylenes promote antibacterial and antimicrobial activity.
Turmeric essential oil: It's useful in cosmetics, for the body, mind, and as an aroma. It works wonders for mature and dull skin. It's also excellent for regulating sebum production and eliminating acne and its marks. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of curcumin brighten the skin, making it look younger and better. Thanks to the presence of fatty acids and phytosterols, curcumin helps reduce excess sebum. Furthermore, turmeric, thanks to its strong anti-inflammatory properties, has been shown to limit the effects of free radicals and slow their negative processes.
Artichoke extract stimulates skin microcirculation. Artichoke leaf extract is refreshing, revitalizing, sebum-balancing, and astringent.
Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea tree): Tea tree oil is extracted from tea tree leaves by steam distillation. It soothes irritations and treats minor skin conditions thanks to its important natural antibacterial properties. Tea tree oil also contains compounds called terpenes, which have antiseptic and antifungal properties.
Clary Sage essential oil: It stimulates and normalizes the skin's physiological functions. It has anti-inflammatory, purifying, disinfecting, antiperspirant, and astringent properties. This essential oil is particularly suitable for impure, oily, and acne-prone skin.
Epilobium fleischeri extract: a natural prebiotic for treating acne. The skin is home to a complex ecosystem of bacteria that act as a protective physical barrier and immune defense. These microorganisms, also known as our skin microbiome, are responsible for maintaining the health and strength of your skin; therefore, any imbalance between "good" and "bad" bacteria can cause various skin problems. This is where topical prebiotics can come to the rescue. These compounds are not metabolized by your body and can help restore the balance of healthy microbes. Recent in vivo clinical studies have shown that Epilobium fleischeri extract (common name: alpine willowherb) has remarkable prebiotic properties and reduces inflammation by reducing the amount of "bad" bacteria that cause redness and irritation, such as Staphylococcus capitis or Corynebacterium. It enhances the skin's defenses by increasing the growth of "good" bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus hominis, and Micrococcus yunnanensis, thus protecting it from the growth and colonization of pathogenic microbes. Other studies have focused on one of the most important antioxidants in this plant: oenothein B. Using a state-of-the-art 3D facial mapping technique, dermatologists have observed how epilobium extract can reduce excess sebum production in all areas of the face in just four weeks of continuous use by inhibiting the production of 5-alpha-reductase. This reduction in sebum increases the growth of "good" bacteria on the skin's surface and reduces the level of harmful microorganisms. The skin is visibly brighter, more matte, and with reduced pore size.
