Take a Breath is the combination of essential oils, textures, massages and experiences that will make your body release endorphins, which neutralize the activity of adrenaline and dopamine, making our customers feel a pleasant feeling of relaxation.
Take a Breath comprend deux rituels: JEWELS (inspiré par le luxe) et FLOWERS (conçu à partir du pouvoir des fleurs).
Active substances:
JEWELS:
1. Caviar:
• Rich in vitamins A, B and D and amino acids.
• Hydrates and promotes regeneration.
• Regulates the sebaceous gland when it works poorly, in very dry skins.
2. Mica gold:
• Gold that reinforces the immune system and improves the penetration of the active substances in the skin.
• Its exfoliating action makes it very suitable for clearing spots and improving wrinkles appearance.
3.Vitis vinifera:
• Champagne grape seeds oil.
• Antioxidant and nourishing.
• Provides the skin with nutrition.
• It prevents the creation of free radicals.
4. Cane sugar:
• Exfoliant agent.
• Moisturizing.
• Enhances tissue permeability.
5. Jojoba oil:
• Nourishing and hydrating oil.
• Protective and softening effect.
6. Vitamin E or tocopherol:
• Water solublevitamin that acts as an anti-oxidant at the level of the synthesis of the hemopigment thatis an essential part of red cells.
7. Grape leaf:
• Rich in flavonoids and pro-anthocyanis, natural antioxidants that also inhibit the elastase and collagenase enzymes activity, thus preventing the collagen and elastin degradation.
8. Alpine flowers extract:
• Arnica and edelweiss are plants and flowers that grow on the Alps Mountains. They have developed protection systems against adverse weather conditions for their stems and leaves and, when applied onto the skin, they transfer these properties thus protecting and acclimatizing it.
• They contribute to the restoration of the hydrolipidic layer in skins prone to dehydration.
• Edelweiss, known as the eternal flower of the Alps, is rich in flavonoids and tannins, which are powerful antioxidants and active substances with anti-aging properties.
• Arnica is rich in lactose which has anti-inflammatory and decongestant action as well as hydrating properties.
9. Pearls powder:
• The secret of the benefits of pearl powder for the skin has been passed down for generations for 4,000 years. Geishas used it in Japan to enhance and maintain their beauty.
• Pearl powder has an anti-aging action as it contains some 20 amino acids that are indispensable for human body cells.
• Rich in calcium carbonate, many studies have shown that extracts of nacre contain active substances that have unique effects on the skin:
‐ Epidermal growth factors are stimulated.
‐ Tissue fibres are reorganised, thus helping to recover tone.
‐ Elasticity increases.
‐ It is a vehicle that ensures that the rest of the active substances are absorbed into the skin.
10. Soya glycerine:
• A highly appreciated substance in cosmetics as it generates a layer of degradable lipids on the skin that prevents it from dehydrating and protects it from adverse weather conditions.
11. Zea mays (corn starch):
• Corn starch is commonly used in the cosmetic industry because of its nourishing,tissue softening and purifying properties.
• Thanks to its composition and richness in vitamins and anti-oxidants, it is a wonderful anti-ageing complex that protects the skin against external aggressions.
• It is rich in B vitamins, especially B1, B3 and B9, which make this substance a great regenerative, connective tissue softening (firming) agent.
• It is also rich in beta-carotenes, which act as an anti-oxidant agent, ideal to reinforce the skin when it is being damaged (sun, sea salt, chlorine…).
• Thanks to its great quantity of vitamin E, it is an essential active substance to regenerate the skin, give elasticity and prevent ageing.
12. Champagne:
• Rich in amino acids, polyphenols and quercetin.
• Amino acids promote the production of fibres, collagen and elastin which contribute to a moisturized skin.
• Polyphenols combat the feared free radicals and promote the production of vitamin E.
• Quercetin has anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• High quantity of potassium that prevents skin dehydration.
13. Plant squalene:
• Stimulates the immune system and provides cells with oxygen.
• It has, therefore, a great antioxidant action.
• Protects cells from free radicals.
• Mitigates de signs of aging.
• Deeply moisturizing.
• Reconstructs tissue.
FLOWERS:
1. Lavender essential oil:
• Neurologically, lavender, when inhaled, is able to relax the heart rate down to sleeping time.
• As far as its physiological properties are concerned, lavender oil has moisturizing, antiseptic and purifying benefits and strengthens the hydrolipidic layer of the skin.
• Regulates the sebaceous gland when it works poorly, in very dry skins.
2. Cane sugar:
• Rich in polysaccharides with hydrating and elastifying properties for the skin.
3. Sea salt:
• Acts as an exfoliator.
• Once dissolved, it works as a stimulator of lymphatic circulation.
4. Damacene rose extract:
• A terasure for dry and delicate skins as it is rich in anthocyanosides that prevent elastin degradation.
• It is also rich in linoleic acid, which protects the cell membrane against the degradation caused by free radicals.
5. Sucrose emulsion:
• Moisturizing action while protecting from dehydration.
6. Vitamin E or tocopherol:
• Water solublevitamin that acts as an anti-oxidant at the level of the synthesis of the hemopigment thatis an essential part of red cells.
7. Macadamia nut oil:
• Rich in proteins and trace elements, it provides the skin with elasticity and restores the hydrolipidic layer.
8. Sucrose:
• Hydrating action that retains water in the skin, giving it a radiant and elastic appearance.
9. Soya glycerine:
• A highly appreciated substance in cosmetics as it generates a layer of degradable lipids on the skin that prevents it from dehydrating and protects it from adverse weather conditions.
10. Aloe vera:
• A plant with regenerative, disinfectant and soothing action in equal proportion, which re-activates and normalizes the skin metabolism. It is, in fact, the regenerative plant per excellence.
• A true natural jewel for your skin.
