TO GO FURTHER
The principle of upcycling, a strong action of the circular economy, is to recover the co-products or unused materials generated during a manufacturing process to convert them into products of superior quality. The objective of this approach is to reduce the waste associated with the manufacture of a product.
At Avène Thermal Spring Water, we use achenes (dried fruits from the plant) to extract ComedoclastinTM (an active ingredient of the Cleanance Comedomed range which fights against excess sebum and imperfections). It is with the co-product of this extraction that we obtain the refined Milk Thistle oil used in the XERACALM NUTRITION range. Upcycling allows us to obtain two high-quality active ingredients from the same raw vegetable material while limiting waste production as much as possible.
It is by looking for the best ingredients for dry skin that our teams have developed this exclusive combo to nourish and boost the skin's defences! They have thus combined Niacinamide, selected for its global and rapid action, with Milk Thistle oil for its triple action over the long term, 2 flagship active ingredients of this nourishing range.
A WORD FROM THE EXPERT
The idea was to create an exclusive nourishing duo. Niacinamide provides rapid, global action to strengthen the barrier function and stimulate ceramide 1 synthesis, while Milk Thistle oil provides long-term anti-dryness action, protecting the barrier function and boosting the skin's natural lipid metabolism.
This is the main class of lipids that are naturally present in our skin. Their role is to bind skin cells together to protect all skin layers. Ceramides help the skin to better resist external aggressions and maintain a good hydration. Over the years, our body starts to produce fewer and fewer ceramides, and this is when fine lines or feelings of discomfort begin to appear.
These are two fatty acids that contribute to the suppleness and elasticity of the skin. They are known for their nourishing, restorative and protective virtues. Present in our diet, they are also found in Milk Thistle oil.
It is the shield formed by an emulsion of water and fat that covers the skin's surface and thus constitutes the lipid barrier. This barrier protects against bacteria and aggressive agents and also contributes to the suppleness of the skin.
The ingredients in our products are carefully selected for their effectiveness.
Niacinamide
Also known as vitamin B3, it stimulates cells and prolongs their longevity to regenerate skin in the long term. Reduces wrinkles and skin pigmentation but also improves elasticity.
