Aloe vera juice extracted from the leaf has been used since ancient times for its many benefits.

Aloe vera is widely used for its soothing, moisturising, smoothing, and nourishing properties and also because its Ph is very similar to our skin’s own PH.

Aloe vera eliminates dead cells from the epidermis, thus allowing to gently facilitate the desquamation process, favoring cell regeneration and stimulating the healing process. Every application of aloe vera comes with a bonus: a pleasant sensation with an immediate fresh feeling!

The apricot tree has been cultivated for more than 2000 years and with good reason.

The oil extracted from the kernel of the apricot fruits has incredible virtues, highly beneficial to the skin. 

Dry and quickly penetrating, this oil is effectively absorbed without leaving any oily residue or sensation on your skin.

With a high degree of absorption, the apricot oil has also nourishing, firming, anti-oxidant, soothing, and photoprotective properties.

The apricot oil helps tone up the epidermis, and it  restores elasticity. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, it plays an important role in delaying the natural process of skin aging. Once the skin is moisturized and nourished in depth, the imperceptible hydrolipidic film left by the oil helps prevent epidermal dehydration and therefore lock the moisture inside. As a result: your skin looks radiant!

Very soft in application and non-irritant, this natural emollient is ideal for all skin types, especially the sensitive, irritated, mature, dull, dry, and mixed ones.

Despite its name, the apricot is not native from Armenia but from China. Growing wild 5 000 years ago, it is now widely cultivated in the mediterranean regions for its delicious fruit, but also for cosmetic use of the kernels.

Although less popular than the apricot kernel oil, apricot kernel powder has a lot to offer as well! It is used to make a gentle scrub, which leaves the skin smooth and deeply cleansed. Its exfoliating power purifies the complexion by effectively removing dead cells and impurities.

The skin regains tone and radiance after application, irregularities are reduced and the surface is softened and refined.

Softening and protective, avocado oil offers comfort to the most delicate and dried skins and restores all the elasticity needed. Avocado oil also fights against the signs of skin aging.  It nourishes the skin and protects it against aggressions (cold, wind, etc.). 

Very soft, avocado oil is a marvellous ingredient in the composition of care products for dry or mature skin.

Repairing and calming, it works wonderfully on skins prone to discomfort.

Azelaic Acid is a less known anti-inflammatory and antioxidant active ingredient, but with immense virtues for the skin.

Azelaic acid is often synthetically produced, but at Dermoplant, the ingredient is plant-based and comes from organic farming. No surprise here, right?

It harmonises the tone of the skin, smoothes the skin and promotes the elimination of rough skin patches as well as brown spots, often left behind after eruptions.

It refines the pores and helps purify the skin surface, since it prevents the formation of clusters of sebaceous matter that obstruct the pores (overproduction of sebum), i.e. blackheads (blackheads). Antibacterial, it also reduces the production of fatty acids and bacteria, which are strongly involved in the development of acne. It can quickly be considered as a soft exfoliant.

Beeswax is the only ingredient from animal origin used in Dermoplant products. Once collected from the honeycomb, the wax is purified for cosmetic use. 

Beeswax is a fatty substance often used as an emulsifier, with protective and moisturizing properties. Contrary to waxes obtained from oils, it does not obstruct the pores.

Naturally rich in vitamin A, often used during winter, beeswax forms a soft film on the skin, protecting it from external aggressions, (such as cold, wind, humidity) and at the same time, promotes healing. This ingredient soothes and protects, while also deeply nourishing the epidermis. 

Beeswax repairing virtues are a powerful ally for all skin types. Its unctuous texture and complex composition is highly adapted to sensitive skins, which are often affected by dryness and fragility.

A fine white odourless powder, sodium alginate is a natural texturizing agent extracted from brown seaweed.

Due to its gelling properties, it is often used in cosmetics for reaching a good  consistency of the product. The powder is also commonly used for its emulsifying properties, which allows the cohesion of different cosmetic ingredients. 

Thanks to sodium alginate, the often non-miscible active ingredients such as water and oil can then be mixed together, in order to create a stable, homogeneous and fluid mixture.

Suitable for all skin types.

Calendula, also known as marigold flower, is quite cultivated in the Mediterranean regions, as it is often considered an essential component of therapeutic care.

Calendula flowers contain antioxidant, moisturizing, and soothing compounds which help the skin heal faster and prevent infections. The calendula extract is also used as  an anti-aging agent.

Highly hydrating, the calendula facilitates the maintenance of the water contained in the epidermis. Powerful anti-inflammatory, it soothes the skin and calms irritations.

Moreover, the flower of calendula contains antioxidant molecules limiting the cellular degradation, due to the free radicals like: pollution, stress, UV rays and so on. This is what slows down the natural aging process of the skin.

Chamomile is one of the most consumed plants due to its multiple benefits. These flowers grow in the temperate regions of Europe, and release a particularly pleasant aroma. They have some extremely interesting medicinal virtues, and they are used in skin care products mainly due to  the content in bisabolol, an active ingredient well-known for its calming effect. 

Chamomile flower extract helps calm and refresh the skin. It has anti-inflammatory, healing and antioxidant properties that soothe the skin, and reduce redness and blemishes. This active ingredient can even alleviate skin irritations such as eczema, psoriasis and rosacea.

Bisabolol helps soften the skin, prevents the degradation of collagen present in the dermis and decreases the synthesis of melanin. This helps to reduce the signs of age as well as dark marks, and thus helping skin tone reach an even colour.

Coconut oil contains antibacterial and anti-inflammatory compounds that calm inflammation and reduce redness. 

Known as a multi-functional active ingredient, coconut oil excels in the art of hydrating the skin, but also in purifying it. 

By removing impurities and tightening the pores, it drastically reduces the appearance and multiplication of pimples.

Coconut oil also has healing properties, since it stimulates the collagen present in the dermis, thus increasing the skin’s resistance to external aggressions.  

This powerful active ingredient helps to fight against many skin problems, such as eczema, psoriasis or rosacea. It also soothes the discomfort caused by poor hydration.

The extract of the tree known as the “Dragon tree of Socotra”, is an active ingredient particularly recognised for its healing properties.

Dragon’s blood extract stimulates skin regeneration, it has antioxidant properties, and helps to protect the skin from external aggressions. This special active ingredient helps to reduce scars and marks on damaged skin, repairing and regenerating them in depth. These actions concur in producing a very effective anti ageing effect.

Dragon’s blood extract  improves the quality of the epidermis, its action stimulates fibroblasts such as collagen and gives tonus and radiance to your skin.

It is suitable for all skin types.

Advanced plant research has revealed the extraordinary power of Hibiscus Esculentus extract in skin rejuvenation. Through a process of biotransformation, scientists have extracted a complex of oligopeptides which is effective in reducing wrinkles and expression lines.

Hibiscus extract is an active ingredient that is considered a viable alternative to esthetic surgical interventions to fight efficiently against wrinkles.

Hibiscus extract reduces wrinkles in two ways:

• Acts against mechanical factors that cause wrinkles: by inhibiting the contraction of facial muscles, it smoothes expression lines and prevents their formation.
  These effects are similar to the application of botulinum toxin, but without the side effects and toxicity. Hibiscus Oligopeptides offer a similar action thanks to the unique benefits of nature, in a less invasive way.
• Antioxidant and anti free radicals effect: It prevents oxidative damage, thus protects against biological aging.

Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body, forming connective tissues and cell layers. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of blood and lymph. It has an important role in water retention and in the entire structure of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is one of the human body indispensable components. Its benefits are truly spectacular. 

The hyaluronic acid used in Dermoplant products is derived from corn and wheat by bio-fermentation of bacteria naturally present in the environment, the streptococci. It is therefore a 100% natural product and 100% of plant origin.

The hyaluronic acid softens and restores the elasticity of the skin exposed to solar radiation. It is also an effective protector and regenerator in the aging process, traumas and metabolic disorders. It is a very valuable ingredient in cosmetics for its excellent moisturizing properties as well as in medicine. The skin immediately regains radiance, the smoothing and firming effects are almost instantaneous!

The hyaluronic acid is one of the protein fibres naturally contained in the dermis and has the property to retain water from 300 to 3000 times its weight. This acid is responsible for the proper maintenance of the cell hydration and for the correct performance of the fibroblasts, which itself nourishes and stimulates collagen and elastin. With age, its concentration in the skin gradually declines, the skin loses elasticity which leads to the appearance of wrinkles and sagging. 

There are three molecular forms of hyaluronic acid that complete each other very well, as they do not have the same properties. 

High weight molecules (HMW) appear as big molecules and therefore remain on the surface of the skin. They build up a hydrolipidic barrier on the superficial layers of the epidermis so the moisture is locked inside. The function of this external protective barrier is to protect the skin against bacteria, and to help the skin maintain its hydration.

Medium-weight molecules (HLMW) allow the active ingredient to penetrate as far as the dermis and reach the hollows of the skin in order to “fill in” and therefore replump the skin at a deeper level.

Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid – The micro-encapsulated molecules release its active ingredients more slowly and in greater quantities, while reaching the deepest skin layers. The hydrolyzed form is an efficient  way to enhance and prolong the effects of hyaluronic acid.

Also called Sacha Inchi oil, it is one of the natural oils richest in omega 3 (45%). It also contains omega 6 (36%) and omega 9 (9%) which makes it exceptionally balanced in the ratio of fatty acids. This gives it a great moisturizing profile, especially for dry skin.  

The oil is appreciated for its effectiveness of penetration into the skin, dry to the touch, it nourishes, softens, and soothes the skin, restoring its natural beauty.

Suitable for all skin types, Sacha Inchi oil is often used for mature skin because of its amazing firming properties.

Like Aloe vera, this oil has well documented properties in skin care. 

Jojoba oil nourishes, balances, protects and softens the skin. 

Its composition is very close to the sebum produced by the human body. Jojoba oil acts as a regulator of sebum secretion and, not surprisingly, like sebum, it protects the skin.

Originally from the French Mediterranean area, lavender has been cultivated for thousands of years for its pleasant smell but also for its medicinal virtues. It is often used in the form of its essential oil or macerates, although lavender flowers have many more possible uses in skin care.

In addition to its captivating scent, lavender oil has soothing, purifying and anti bacterial properties on the skin:

Lavender flower extract has the ability to reduce acne, help purify and tone the skin, and reduce wrinkles. Its freshness immediately brings a pleasant feeling of well-being.

Thanks to its soothing properties, the extract of lavender flowers can be used for the superficial irritations. It softens, calms the sensitive skins and it clarifies the skins prone to pimples.

Triglycerides or lipophilic components are widely used as a texture agent but they also pack other benefits.  

Rich in vitamins, this agent has softening, nourishing, regenerating emollient, and protective properties for the skin. As a bonus, this natural active ingredient also brings consistency to the cosmetic composition. 

Suitable for all skin types

Licorice is a vivacious plant widely cultivated in Mediterranean Europe, due to the discovery of its many active ingredients, the main one being glycyrrhizic acid. This acid calms, soothes, and provides real comfort to irritated and aggressed skin.

Often used to “harmonize” the ingredients in formulations, liquorice has interesting benefits for the skin, due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Moreover, the regular use of liquorice helps to diminish the dark marks which can appear on the skin after an eruption.

An excellent source of oligoelements, oliglycan is an active ingredient made up of a complex of trace minerals in the forms of PCA salts and able to easily penetrate the superficial layers of the skin for a sebum-regulating action.

This trace element is naturally present in the skin and connective tissue, for a good reason: it is vital to skin health.

With strong regenerating and antioxidant properties, olyglycan regulates the water content of the skin, and accelerates the cicatrization process.

This active ingredient stimulates the collagen present in the epidermis, as well as elastin, allowing the skin to remain toned. It is for this reason that it is often regarded as an effective anti-ageing ingredient. Copper PCA also accelerates the healing process by helping the skin to detach dead cells.

Copper combines wonderfully with Zinc and together both compounds are used for their impressive effects of healing, maintaining hydration and exceptional anti-aging properties.

The antioxidant action allows the epidermis to defend itself more effectively, therefore promoting long term preservation of youth appearance and maintaining skin health.

A perfect partner for the azelaic acid – Salicylic Acid (BHA: extract of gaultheria)

Extracted from Wintergreen berries, Salicylic Acid is a natural  beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) with powerful anti-inflammatory,  anti-fungal and anti-acne properties.

Gaultheria has often been recognised as a miracle ally to calm inflamed, irritated and reddened skin. Like azelaic acid, salicylic acid reduces imperfections and cutaneous eruptions.

The two acids work in synergy for a potent effect: after cleaning the surface of the skin the salicylic acid penetrates into the deeper layers to cleanse obstructed pores and prevent the forming of new impurities.

It is suitable for all skin types.

Silver has well-known anti-inflammatory properties on a wide spectrum of bacteria and it  is very effective even in low doses.

Silver is naturally present in the environment and does not present any harmful risk to it.

Silver powder contributes to the healing of inflamed and irritated skin.

Thanks to its anti-inflammatory effect, this active ingredient helps to restore the optimal physiological balance of the skin’s microflora. If it is used regularly, silver powder stimulates skin’s own defence and the inflammation is thereby diminished and controlled.

Silver powder leaves an invisible deposit on the surface of the skin, but the particles do not penetrate the skin because their size does not allow them to cross the cutaneous barrier. The particles remain on the surface and quickly eliminate undesirable microorganisms. The silver absorbs the bacteria present on the surface of the epidermis and destroys them instantly.

It is suitable for all skin types.

Sea buckthorn berries come from a small thorny tree that grows in the most harsh regions such as the coastal dunes, the Siberian steppes or mountain areas.
