Why our products all mentioned as having more than 99% natural origin while our serum is 86%?

For ingredients to be mentioned as natural, they must be of natural origin but also be extracted in a natural way. This is the case, among others, for hyaluronic acid which, although synthetic, the one we use is 100% pure (non-pre-diluted form). Also, to maximize its benefits, we have combined 2 types of hyaluronic acids, high molecular weight, and low molecular weight. The high molecular weight absorbs water and remains on the surface of the skin to create a waterproof barrier so that cells retain their hydration and do not lose it to the environment. As for small molecular weight hyaluronic acid, it penetrates the skin at different layers and absorbs water in the skin to hydrate it, thereby making it swell and notably the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Niacinamide also, although synthetic, helps build keratin; a type of protein that keeps skin firm and healthy. It helps the skin develop a lipid barrier that helps retain moisture. It reduces inflammation, which can help reduce redness. It keeps the skin smooth and hydrated. It increases collagen production and reduces signs of sun damage related to aging, including fine lines and wrinkles. It improves the texture of the skin. It is balancing because it can also help regulate the quantity of oils produced by the sebaceous glands.

Butylene glycol, for its part, is used to moisturize and as a skin care agent, it helps to maintain the skin in good condition in addition to giving the serum a silky and shiny feel.
