Details

Properties

  • Antioxidant: Combat the formation of free radicals caused by UVA rays that can damage key dermal components involved in maintaining skin structure, skin cells, or induce DNA damage or even the release of mediators of epidermal inflammation;

  • Anti-redness, brightening: Reviving the skin's radiance, evening out and illuminating the complexion by preserving the blood microcirculation through inhibiting the release of nitric oxide at the endothelial cell level, a liposoluble gas that triggers a chemical reaction leading to the relaxation of blood vessels (vasodilation);

  • Protective: Strengthening the natural defense against the assault of light radiation (UV and visible light);

  • Firming: Preserving the firmness, suppleness, and elasticity of the skin by maintaining the level of major components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) such as proteoglycans (hyaluronic acid), collagens, and elastins;

Applications

  • Facial Care(creams, balms, lotions, milks, serums, mists, oils);

  • Makeups (foundations, complexion correctors).

A plant of Eastern civilizations, the Indian jasmine originates from tropical Asia. Its white flowers with unique petals open at sunset to better release its universal fragrance. Also known for its sacred character in Asian religions and its symbolism, it is recognized for its sense of purity, gentleness, femininity, and nobility. In topical application, the cellular extract of jasmine can be used to mitigate the damage caused by UV rays. Enriched with γ-mangosteen in addition to their own active molecules, the plant cells increase the bioavailability of all the assimilated actives they deliver to the skin to strengthen the skin's biological protection, thus maintaining a firmer and more radiant skin.
