✓ Shea Butter

Composed of fatty acids such as oleic acid and stearic acid, shea butter helps restore the hydrolipidic film and limit insensible water loss¹². This emollient action supports the skin barrier function and improves skin suppleness, especially in cases of dryness or damaged epidermis.

Shea butter also contains unsaponifiables, phytosterols, tocopherols (vitamin E), and triterpenes, giving it antioxidant and soothing properties³⁴.

✓ Damask Rose Essential Oil

Damask rose essential oil primarily contains aromatic compounds such as citronellol, geraniol, and nerol, known for their antioxidant properties¹². These molecules help protect the skin against oxidative stress, which is involved in premature skin aging.

Studies also highlight soothing and anti-inflammatory effects, suggesting particular interest for sensitive skin or skin prone to redness³. By modulating certain inflammation mediators, Damask rose essential oil can help improve skin comfort and reduce sensations of irritation (provided appropriate dosages are respected for good skin tolerance).

✓ Beeswax

Beeswax, composed of esters and fatty acids, forms a semi-occlusive protective film on the skin's surface. This natural barrier reduces water loss while protecting against external aggressions, thus strengthening the skin barrier function and improving the comfort of dry or sensitive skin.⁴⁵

✓ Hemp Oil

Hemp oil has a particularly balanced lipid composition and a biological affinity with the skin.

Extracted from Cannabis sativa L. seeds, it is distinguished by a high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), in a ratio considered optimal for supporting the skin barrier function¹². These essential fatty acids participate in the cohesion of epidermal lipids and help limit insensible water loss, thus promoting better hydration.

Rich in phytosterols and natural antioxidant compounds, hemp oil also helps neutralize oxidative stress involved in premature skin aging³. Studies also indicate a soothing and regulating effect, particularly on dry, reactive, or sebum-imbalanced skin¹⁴.

Thanks to its light texture and high linoleic acid content, it penetrates easily without a greasy effect, making it suitable for skin care for both dry skin and combination to oily skin.

Hemp oil therefore helps restore lipid balance, strengthen the skin barrier, and protect the skin from oxidative aggressions, while respecting its natural physiology.
