David Boudier, "RESPONDING NATURALLY TO THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THE MALE SKIN"

Men very often can undergo long periods of fatigue, stress, lack of sleep... with apparently little or no effect on their skin. However, with time, their skin’s cells can not restore sufficient energy levels to maintain their normal metabolic activity. As a result, it becomes increasingly difficult to ensure effective continuation of the very basic cells functions (i.e. protection, repair and regeneration. In view of these needs, we have developed an effective extract from Cicer arietinum (chick peas) seeds. Tested on skin’s cells isolated from male donors, this natural active ingredient stimulates the ATP neosynthesis and its regeneration through creatine kinase activity. Our studies have shown this extract activates cell renewal and improves fatigue-resistance of the skin on male volunteers. Thus this natural active ingredient revitalizes the male skin and provides a long-lasting healthy look. The product, and approach can be used in all energizing face and skin care products for men. In order to complete this range of natural active ingredients specifically devoted to men, we have also launched an extract rich in oligopeptides purified from Anona squamosa. This material reinforces the resistance of the dermis and the barrier function of the epidermis. The extract firms and tones the cutaneous tissue as well as visibly reducing the number and total surface of wrinkles. This natural active ingredient can be used in all anti-aging face and skin care products for men.
