Our Acti-Complexe Ingredient

HIGH-PERFORMANCE SKINCARE
Our patented and clinically proven Acti-Complexe ingredient combines marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, and earth marine seawater to deliver all-round skincare benefits. Acti-Complexe has been clinically demonstrated to significantly enhance skin hydration and luminosity.

EARTH MARINE SEAWATER
This unique seawater, filtered through Earth's geological layers before resurfacing, is enriched with minerals that give it powerful properties. Earth Marine Seawater detoxifies, remineralises, and fortifies the skin, making it an exceptional ingredient in Acti-Complexe.

HYDROLYSED MARINE COLLAGEN
Collagen, a vital protein, keeps skin resilient and youthful, but natural production declines with age. Acti-Complexe features hydrolysed marine collagen, known for its bioavailable peptides that penetrate deeply into the dermis, supporting elasticity and firmness.

HYALURONIC ACID
A powerful humectant, hyaluronic acid retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water, acting like a sponge to hydrate and plump the skin. Though our natural production decreases over time, Acti-Complexe replenishes this essential molecule, helping to counteract signs of ageing.

Advanced Micro-Encapsulation

Our Advanced Micro-Encapsulation System enhances the delivery and effectiveness of active ingredients by encasing them in a protective membrane. During manufacturing, these membranes are given a positive charge, which is naturally attracted to the skin’s negatively charged surface, drawing the microcapsules directly to the dermis.

This system offers multiple benefits: it shields active ingredients from oxidation, light, heat, and interaction with other ingredients, reducing the need for preservatives. Additionally, it increases bioavailability, allowing the actives to penetrate deeply into skin cells for optimal results.
