Everyday our skin is subject to multiple aggressions: sun, cold, and bad weather, as well as other factors which damage the surface of our skin, causing dryness, chapping and rough skin.
Together these factors accelerate the ageing process. This phenomenon touches the entire family, from the youngest to the oldest, creating a need for skin care solutions that can be used by all members of the family. A need in line with today’s trend, which consists of reducing the current over-segmentation of cosmetic products. To develop suitable formulations, scientists need smart active ingredients that target precisely the skin reparation mechanism, without over-stimulating these natural mechanisms when there is no need. Gattefossé present an innovative cotton thistle extract, which acts on epidermal differentiation, helps the natural regeneration process and promotes cutaneous repair. A true solution adapted for both normal and damaged skins, resulting in healthier, smoother and more radiant appearance.
