Body balm for the whole family

A baby's skin is often very soft, but also very fragile. That's why it's important to use gentle ingredients that won't irritate the skin, but instead, protect, soothe, and nourish it. To create our body balm for children, we chose to use calendula oil and shea butter, among other ingredients. These two ingredients are essential for caring for their skin.

Serum for reddened skin

Is your skin often prone to redness? This serum is for you! It will soothe the skin and minimise redness. Facial redness is more common in fair-skinned people. The skin takes on a colour that can range from red to violet. Redness can be temporary or long-lasting. This phenomenon is due to the dilation of the skin's blood vessels in the dermis.

Repairing face night care

Why use night care? At night, active ingredients, serums and other skincare products have time to penetrate deep into the skin and work effectively. Dry skin needs to be moisturised, and our night care provides just that. It has a restorative and nourishing effect on the skin, thanks in particular to plant ceramides that help preserve moisture levels over the long term. Simply apply to your face in the evening as the last step in your beauty routine.
