Sustainability has been a long-time leading trend and core value for consumers. But we are seeing a stronger focus on biodegradability as of late. The biodegradable claim, practically inseparable from naturality and sustainability claims, has risen 234% since 2016 and is driven by European influence. According to Mintel, 56% of French, 53% of German, 59% of Italian, and 65% of Spanish beauty and personal care (BPC) users have reduced the number of beauty or grooming products that are not biodegradable.
\n\n Biodegradable claims are often found on toiletries, hair care products, and sun care, as this environmental concern mainly targets rinse-off products. However, we have seen a slowly increasing number of leave-on products launching with the same claim.
\n\n
\n
Industry leaders are taking action by updating their CSR policies and developing eco-design tools to prioritize biodegradability. L’Oreal commits that 100% of its formulas will be biodegradable by 2030. By the same year, Biotherm claims that 90% of their skincare formulas will be biodegradable, while 100% of L’Occitane rinse-off products will contain 95% biodegradable ingredients. And even sooner, Clarins promises to have 100% of its suncare and rinse-off formulas biodegradable by 2025. But multinational companies are not the only ones prioritizing biodegradability. Raw material suppliers are too!
\n\n

\n\n
\n
At Gattefossé, we have biodegradable ingredients that can help you achieve eco-friendly formulations. We use the OECD 301F method, which measures the oxygen consumption of bacteria from sewage water resulting from the biodegradation of the chosen substance. In this test, the substance is considered readily biodegradable when it is at least 60% biodegraded after 28 days of the test.
\n\n
\n
The composition of Emulium® Dolcea MB, our 2021 inCOS Global award-winning, PEG-free, O/W emulsifier, has been carefully chosen to ensure excellent biodegradability. Using the OECD 301F test method, we found that 100% of Emulium® Dolcea MB, in equivalent organic carbon, has been biodegraded after only 28 days!
\n\n
\n
We recommend using Emulium® Dolcea MB for every personal care application, especially if you seek a soft sensory experience and bonus moisturizing benefits!
\n\n
\n
And since haircare is a product type of top concern, we also tested whether Definicire®, our dedicated hair care ingredient, is biodegradable. Results show that 95% of Definicire®, in equivalent carbon, is biodegraded after only 28 days!
\n
\n
Not to mention, Definicire® has a biomimetic lipidic composition inspired by natural hair lipids that can serve as an alternative to quaternary compounds and silicones, with substantiated performance in volume/frizz control, ease of combing, and more.

The sun is necessary to life. It induces positive effects such as the promotion of vitamin D synthesis, melatonin synthesis which helps maintain the biological rhythms, and it has also been proven to positively influence the mood by promoting release of endorphins.
\nBut the sun exposure brings also some negative short and long-term effects to the organism. The most known and visible one, sunburn, is linked to UVB. Shortly after exposure, reactional acne, summer Lucitis, or photosensitization can appear. In addition, it is also well known that repeated sun (and especially UVA) exposure can lead to photo aging associated symptoms such as dark spots, wrinkles, elastosis, and ultimately skin cancer.
\nThe risks associated with sun exposure are therefore important enough to privilege proper protection from its rays.
\n\n
\n
Photoprotection is ensured by suncare products, which are characterized by 3 distinct elements:
\nTo bring an efficient photoprotection to the skin, suncare products contain UV filters. These particular cosmetic ingredients are divided into 2 categories:
\nFigure 1: UV protection mechanisms
\n\n
But adding UV filters in a cosmetic formulation brings a lot of problems…
\n\n
\n
The first objective of a suncare product is to be efficient. Organic and inorganic UV filters need to be carefully formulated to ensure an effective protection against UV rays.
\nIf organic UV filters are used, the first thing to think of is proper solubilization. Each organic UV filter has a specific solubilizer. It is therefore necessary to identify the best combination by consulting the UV filter supplier’s documentation and then doing some experimental lab work (visual test, microscopy).
\nIf inorganic UV filters are chosen, ensuring their good dispersion is crucial. For this, the use of a dispersing or wetting agent is necessary. Coated grades facilitate the compatibility, the dispersibility and the sensoriality of the UV filters.
\nAnother tip is to combine organic and inorganic UV filters. The resulting synergy effect will increase the final SPF of the formula.
\nThe use of other ingredients can help:
\nFinally, it is important to create a homogeneous film at the skin surface by choosing the right gelling agents and adding a film former.
\n\n
\n
Stability is always a challenge for cosmetic products, and especially for suncare products because of UV filters. Fluid and sprayable ones are particularly difficult to stabilize.
\nThe first thing to check is the packaging that will be used. Viscosity drop at high temperature (especially for beach products) can be a problem if the packaging is not adapted. Moreover, W/O formulas sometimes interact with some materials, leading to instabilities.
\nThe choice of the right gelling system is primordial to guarantee a perfect stability. It depends again on the packaging used, but some gums may increase stability at high temperature.
\nFinally, the type of emulsions (W/O or O/W) and emulsifier play a key role in the formula stability. Depending on the type of UV filters used and the other ingredients of the formula, the emulsifier is more or less compatible and may no longer fulfil its emulsifying function.
\n\n
\n
Sensoriality is not only essential to ensure a second purchase, but above all it favors regular application and proper skin protection. In sunscreens, organic and inorganic UV filters present sensorial disadvantages to overcome.
\nOrganic UV filters bring greasiness, shine, tackiness, and a high film residue to final formulas. These drawbacks can be balanced by using powders, adding alcohol, adapting the emollients and feeling agents and using SPF boosters to reduce the total amount of UV filters and the quantity of oils.
\nInorganic UV filters, on the other hand, increase formula dryness, roughness, and whitening effect if they are non-nano. Adapting the emollients and feeling agents improves the formulation afterfeel. As the emulsifying system impacts the product’s sensoriality, changing the emulsifier can also be a solution. Reducing the filters’ particle size or tinting the formula can counteract the whitening effect.
\n\n
\n
\n
Gattefossé has developed texture ingredients that respond to the major issues encountered in the formulation of suncare products: performance, stability, and sensoriality.
\nEmulium® Illustro, a W/O emulsifier, has proven its compatibility with organic, mineral UV filters and SPF boosters and creates stable formulations with a comfortable feel.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Emulium® Dolcea MB, an O/W emulsifier, creates stable textures with an ultra-soft and non-tacky afterfeel. In addition to its biodegradable nature, its moisturizing properties will benefit any sunscreen products.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Emulium® Mellifera MB is another O/W emulsifier that makes it possible to formulate suncare products with a light and non-greasy finish. Its capacity to auto-adapt to climates and its many different claims make it a perfect emulsifier for suncare applications with skincare benefits.
\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Finally, Acticire® MB is an active texturizing agent that improves sensoriality of suncare products by reducing the greasy and tacky afterfeel. It also improves durability of the protective film on the skin, as observed with the UV camera.
\n\n
\n

As you tiptoe through the dark, deserted halls of the centuries-old mansion where you’re spending the night, you hear a low moan and feel a cold breath on your neck. You spin around to find yourself staring into the deathly pale, ashen face of a ghost! What was your first thought? Wow – you could use some blush!
\nWhile ghosts from Beetlejuice to Bloody Mary may be known for their pallid complexions and ashen skin tones, those among the living surely want to avoid that look.
\n\n
Age and environmental aggressions like pollution can cause the skin to look dull and uneven. Did you know that skin tone and luminosity alone can account for up to 10 years of age perception? A healthy complexion has a major influence on the perception of age and on judgments of attractiveness and health. Let Gattefossé help you avoid a Casper complexion this Halloween.
\n
Gatuline® Radiance is the perfect solution to combat dull complexion and bring color back to ashen skin.
\n By enhancing vasodilation of the blood vessels just below the skin’s surface, Gatuline® Radiance enhances microcirculation, bringing enhanced blood flow.
\n
This enhanced microcirculation brings visible benefits such as significant improvement in skin color – bringing out rosy, pink tones while attenuating dull beige tones and redness.
\n
This ingredient has also been proven to enhance skin brightness and luminosity.
\n
\n According to panelists, 28-day use of a cream containing 3% Gatuline® Radiance resulted in less dull skin and restored radiance. In fact, 96% of panelists felt that the product gave their skin a healthy glow and 85% said the skin was more radiant. No ghastly ghostly complexions here!
\n Lastly, Gatuline® Radiance has been shown to protect skin complexion even in highly polluted environments, helping it combat the visible effects of day-to-day exposure to environmental pollutants and aggressors.
\nSo, this Halloween, fight dull complexion and ghostly pallor with Gatuline® Radiance, extracted from Evodia Rutaecarpa and based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

\n
SPF, Sun Protection Factor, can potentially be an obscure term for consumers. Stamped on sunscreen product packaging, its purpose is to describe the effectiveness of the protection.
\n
According to the ISO 24444 standard, SPF is a ratio: the amount of energy required (power and duration) to cause a sunburn on skin protected with sunscreen is compared to that of unprotected skin exposed to the same emitting power.
\n So, if a person measured how long they could stay out in the sun without protection before getting sunburned, they would, in theory, only need to multiply that time by the SPF of the sunscreen applied to find out how long they could stay out in the sun without getting burned. For example, a person who is expected to get sunburned after 10 minutes of exposure should, in theory, have 150 minutes of sun protection with an SPF15 sunscreen.
\n As a reminder, this is only theoretical because to be constantly protected during the exposure time, sunscreen should be re-applied every two hours in a standardized quantity (often higher than the compliance of the standard consumer).
\n
\n TO REMEMBER \nSPF values measure protection against sunburn, the inflammation caused by UVB rays. SPF does not indicate any UVA protection, which explains why some regulations require a minimum UVB/UVA ratio of 3 :1 on all products. \n | \n
\n
Moreover, the matter becomes even more questionable when we measure the quantitative percentage of UVB effectively blocked in a given SPF sunscreen.
\n\n SPF \n | \n\n % UVB filtration of the product \n | \n
\n 2 \n | \n\n 50 \n | \n
\n 4 \n | \n\n 75 \n | \n
\n 10 \n | \n\n 90 \n | \n
\n 25 \n | \n\n 96 \n | \n
\n 50 \n | \n\n 98 \n | \n
\n 100 \n | \n\n 99 \n | \n
\n 200 \n | \n\n 99,5 \n | \n
\n
According to this table, while in theory, an SPF 100 product would allow you to be exposed for twice as long as an SPF 50 product, we only note one percentage point of additional UVB filtration. One might assume that’s a lot of extra filters for such minimal improvement. But, when one remembers the variable use of a sunscreen product from one consumer to the next and how different this method is from the ISO 24444 one, one should not buy a too high SPF and overindulge in sun exposure. The authorities have therefore recommended limiting this value to a maximum of 60, known as SPF 50+.
\nAnother factor of variation is the type of sun exposure.
\nAs for UVA, the protocol used for SPF is not adaptable, as it would require too much energy to trigger a similar biological phenomenon with a 100% UVA energy source. Therefore, a method based on pigment response (Meirowsky pigmentation) was developed to account for the immediate brown pigmentation on the skin (due to the oxidation of melanin pigments) caused by the entry of UVA into the dermis. According to the ISO 24442 standard, the minimum pigmentogenic dose (“tanning”) on protected skin by a sun cream is measured in comparison to unprotected skin.It is a reproducible method that accounts for the photostability (good or bad) of the UV filters but only applies to dark skins (which can tan) and favors short UVA.
\n In vivo methods are therefore quite restrictive, as they require an expensive panel of different phototypes, and are not always reproducible between institutions. In vitro methods, on the other hand, are faster and cheaper, allowing for an initial estimate of the desired SPF.
What about in vitro measurements? Are they simplier?

Fall is almost here! We reach for our sweaters and wrap ourselves in scarves before heading out to enjoy the crisp air and multi-colored foliage. Aside from our clothing and accessories, we also use makeup to emphasize the beauty of the season. While bold lip colors are here to stay, these newer makeup trends are sure to make you fall in love with the change of seasons. According to Allure, the top fall make-up trends will include, barely there foundations, cream products, graphic liner with bright accent colors, pastel eyes and red lips, soft, metallic lids, and dewy + matte makeup. (1)
\n
\n Looking to formulate for these trends? Don’t worry, Gattefossé has you covered with formulations and ingredients that can keep these pigmented formulas looking bold!
\n
Natural-looking skin is nothing new, many consumers these days prefer lighter foundations, closer to their natural skin to even out their skin tone and mask slight imperfections without the heavy coverage of full coverage foundations. The lightweight formulations allow consumers to embrace their own skin and achieve a look that showcases their own uniqueness with an even complexion. The sheer coverage helps to contrast the bold eye and lip colors that come with fall makeup.
Our Simply Matte BB Cream was formulated with Emulium® Illustro to create a natural foundation that leaves the skin with a light, matte finish on the skin. This all-in-one tinted cream provides sun protection with SPF 25 and light coverage to provide a uniform complexion. In this formula, Emulium® Illustro is not only used to create the water-in-oil emulsion but also as a pigment wetter to help incorporate both the mineral SPF filters and the foundation pigments. This award-winning emulsifier makes creating sensorial makeup and suncare formulations a breeze!
\n
The Y2K makeup aesthetic has been taking over social media feeds and has racked up over 1.6 billion views on TikTok alone. (2) A mix of 90s nostalgia and modern makeup techniques, this style brings playfulness to everyday makeup with pops of bright colors, metallics, and frosty eyeshadows. The metallic eyeshadow trend also provides a soft but ethereal look that goes well with natural base makeup.
Not a fan of chalky metallic eyeshadows that dry out your eyelids? We weren’t either so we formulated the Crown Jewel Shimmer Shadow with Emulium® Dolcea MB to bring softness upon application and additional benefits such as intense hydration to keep eyelids moisturized and softened. The structure of this unique bouncy texture was built with a 2:2:1 ratio of Compritol® 888 CG, Geleol®, and sunflower seed wax to help with the smooth application of this sparkly champagne color to the delicate eyelids. We also included a water-based active ingredient to bring skincare properties to this makeup formulation through the use of Acticire® MB which allows for the incorporation of water-based ingredients into anhydrous formulations. An extract of the curry leaf stem, EleVastin™, works in the background to limit skin sagging and boost skin elasticity.
\n
Last but not least, red lips are a trademark of fall. Whether you grab a classic red, ox blood, or burgundy color, red lipstick is the bold color that you can use to complement your natural base makeup or help make pastel eye colors look autumn appropriate. These bold colors help make a statement and pull together any fall outfit.
Reach for our Full Metal Lip Cream to bring a metallic, matte burgundy color to your fall look. Our naturally derived water-in-oil emulsifier, Emulium® Illustro was used to create this soft lip cream and provide a soft slip while Lipocire™ A SG was added to bring a melting sensation and help the product glide on the lips. Typically, matte lip products tend to be drying but Acticire® MB was added to provide moisturization and comfort to the lips.
\n\n
Whether you’re formulating for the trends we mentioned here or any other fall makeup trends, Gattefossé has the ingredients to help you create autumn-inspired makeup that is beautiful and bold.

\n
Gattefossé recently unveiled its latest plant-based active ingredient, Solastemis™, designed as an answer to the rising need for skin protection.
\n\n With consumers more than ever conscious of the external harsh factors impacting their skin, interest for care and protection claims, and more generally for health-centric skincare products are increasing everywhere (learn more in our lastest article “The new normal in skin care”).
\nIn this protection field, Solastemis™ preserves the skin from UVA impacts, at the epidermal and dermal levels. It ensures proper homeostasis for the body’s first line of defense and ultimately leads to reduce symptoms associated with photoaging. Its efficacy on the protection and repair of DNA damage in keratinocytes and the preservation of the epidermal stem cells has been widely documented.
\n\n This water-soluble photoprotective active ingredient can be added to skin care products or even sun care products at 2% to shield the skin from photo-aging, visibly reduce wrinkles and provide a healthy lucent complexion. This ingredient whose INCI name is Fructose (and) Glycerin (and) Water (and) Sechium Edule Fruit Extract is COSMOS approved and reaches 99.85% of natural origin content (ISO 16128).
\n\n
The Gattefossé cosmetic application lab has developed 4 formulations for a beauty routine dedicated to repair and protect sun damage on skin.
\nShield your skin from photo-aging with this fluid yet comfortable serum, containing Solastemis™. Before day cream, it prepares the skin by protecting the DNA of keratinocytes from UVA rays, and before night cream, it boosts the endogenous DNA repair system.
\nThis daily care is perfect to protect the skin from UV rays without worry. Its comfortable yet fluid texture penetrates quickly and leaves a soft film on the skin, while Solastemis protects the skin from the harmful effects of UVA and photo-aging.
\n\n This SPF30 sunscreen doesn’t look to be! Thanks to Emulium® Dolcea MB, the texture is soft and comfortable and leaves a very smooth, non-greasy and non-sticky afterfeel. It can be used for daily care or for the beach.
\n\n This night cream has been specially formulated to take care of skin exposed to the sun during the day. Its bouncy texture penetrates quickly and leaves a soft and comfortable film thanks to Emulium® Dolcea MB, while Solastemis™ boosts the endogenous DNA repair system and reduces the effects of photoaging on the skin.
\n\n We have been facing some trying times these past few years – a global pandemic, war, political divide, and climate change. It is no wonder many of us feel so stressed out, on top of our daily worries around work, school, or personal relationships. We know stress isn’t healthy for the mind, body, and soul. But, it is particularly damaging to the skin because “in times of stress, your stress hormones rise and trigger your oil glands to produce more oil, which then triggers acne flares.”*
\n\n According to SPATE, the acne condition ranks #2 within the face concerns category of skincare, with the top subcategory of stress acne showing the highest year-over-year growth. We may not be able to resolve such global issues at Gattefossé, but we can surely provide you with self-care rituals to help you keep calm and Gatt’ your clear skin on!
\n\n
In overwhelming times, there truly is a need for cocooning and rejuvenating moments, which is why Gattefossé has developed a beauty routine comprised of 6 sensational creations that reinforce the pleasures of self-care while facing daily uncertainties. This light and fresh skincare kit guarantees an instant healthy glow and gives you a boost from morning to night!
\n\n
This vibrant yellow, lemon-curd-looking texture is actually a fruit acid face mask! Stable at low pH, Emulium® Dolcea MB creates its gourmand and thick texture while Glypure 70 and Lemon Secrets™ give a renewed and luminous complexion. Simply apply on dry skin, leave on for 10 min, and then rinse.
\n\n
No more shiny skin with this soft, formidable cream that mattifies the skin without drying it out. This creamy texture penetrates quickly and leaves a comfortable and matte film. Cytobiol™ Iris A² helps to fight against shine and reduce imperfections while Plurol® Stearique MB provides a dry, powdery after-feel.
\n\n
Other body areas such as the décolleté, back, and shoulders can also suffer from imperfections. This ultra-fluid bi-gel, made possible with Emulfree® CBG MB, has been specifically designed to purify these areas without leaving a sticky or greasy film, so it’s easy to get dressed after applying.
\n\n
Pimples are a thing of the past thanks to this natural transparent gel! Cytobiol™ Iris A² and Original Extract™ Lemon Bio help purify the skin and minimize breakouts. Plus, its texture is well-adapted for a pump or roll-on applicator for an ultra-targeted application.

Whilst our world evolves towards more extreme and challenging conditions, the need for protection becomes predominant in the beauty sector.
\n\n
Consumers are more than ever concerned about the impact of external aggressors on their skin. Unexpectedly and without any apparent link, the repetition of violent storms, heat waves and air pollution are changing the way we consider cosmetics.
\n The status of the skin changes: it is more and more considered as an organ in interaction with its surrounding environment.
\n Its role as a barrier against external nasties is now clearly admitted, explaining why protection claims have started to infuse the skin care category.
\n Whilst in the past, the correction of wrinkles was one of the first leitmotiv of skin care users, beauty is now associated with a preventative and health-driven vision. We are all looking for ways to keep our skin healthy. The covid19 pandemic has even expanded this focus on health.
\n Therefore, photoprotection, fight against chemicals and digital pollution are the winning claims.
\n End of 2021, Mintel reported that 52% of US women have used skin care products with SPF and 40% a makeup product with SPF(1). The market research agency even reported that “total protection” messages are becoming really popular.
\n
\n Through the years, Gattefossé developed plant-based actives targeting a wide range of skin aggressors.
\n
\n
The latest one, Solastemis™ has been launched following an in-depth R&D program. Together with a research group specialized in genotoxic stress, Gattefossé uncovered that UVA can damage keratinocyte stem cells. Indeed, DNA lesions induced by UVA in keratinocytes are associated to a weakening of their self-renewal capacity, their so-called “stemness” potential, ultimately related to epidermal alterations.
\n Extracted from chayote fruit, Solastemis™ acts on the preservation of the DNA of keratinocytes from UVA rays and boosts endogenous DNA repair system. It protects the stem cells of the epidermis while also offering a shield for the dermis macromolecules (collagen, elastin) against UV assaults.
\n Consequently, Solastemis™ helps to correct various symptoms associated with photoaging: wrinkles are reduced, the microrelief is smoothed, the skin complexion appears brighter, more even, and healthier.
\n
In the field of protection, EnergiNius® is an active deeply anchored in modern life. Artificial visible light (AVL) is everywhere. Daily use of electronic devices (cell phones, computers, and tablets) leads to increasing exposure to LED sources emitting in visible light wavelengths.
\n EnergiNius® protects skin cells from screen emitted artificial visible light and boosts cellular energy deeply affected by screen exposure. Strongly reinforced, the skin is visibly revived, and the signs of fatigue disappear in favor of a healthy glow.
\n Interestingly, it is derived from Indian Ginseng roots, an adaptogen plant able to increase the skin and body’s resistance to several stress factors.
\n
\n
Gatuline® Radiance is issued from the fruit of Evodia rutaecarpa, very reputed in Traditional Chinese Medicine
\n It enhances microcirculation, bringing blood flow to the surface layers of the skin. It helps maintain flawless skin tone, bringing uniform complexion and visibly enhanced skin brightness, even under heavy pollution.
\n The active has been clinically tested in a polluted environment, in China, on a panel of women with sensitive skin. Gatuline® Radiance shows capacities to reduce the visibility of the redness and dilatation of pores. The skin is durably soothed and less reactive to external aggressions.
\n
Gatuline® Age Defense NP is a global solution against time and environmental assaults. Rich in scavenging and energizing molecules, it protects the natural cellular antioxidant pool. Its scavenging potential has been demonstrated in vivo on the skin and ex vivo on hair locks, through the measurement of the peroxide rate.
\n Gatuline® Age Defense NP is extracted from a by-product of the food industry, using pressed walnut seedcake, a solid residue obtained after the production of walnut oil.

These days, there is no doubt that sustainability and social responsibility play a large role in influencing consumer purchases. In fact, according to Nielson, 69% of people in North America say it is extremely or very important that companies implement programs to improve the environment. (1) Therefore, corporate social responsibility has become a key factor for consumers looking to limit the impact they have on the environment.
\n\n
CSR is not new to us at Gattefossé; it has been at the heart of everything we do. Even as early as 1910, the Gattefossé family worked to develop what we refer to as sustainable sourcing today. Rene Maurice Gattefossé did this by establishing a close relationship with French lavender growers to improve their well-being and product quality. Today, our CSR is called Gatt’ Up & Act. We decided to give it a name that portrays our approach and motivation to act together as responsible world citizens. The roadmap consists of three key pillars that house ten priority stakes that align closely with the UN’s sustainable development goals.
\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
The first pillar is called preserving our environment. Under this pillar, we aim to develop products from reliable and renewable sources, reduce our carbon footprint, preserve water resources, and responsibly use our waste. Key stakes take into account the sustainability of our raw materials and waste management, energy transition, and impact on water resources.
\n\n
\n
\n
The second pillar, caring for our people, promotes the well-being and personal development of each employee, enabling everyone to work in complete safety and good health. This is done while deploying strong, inclusive social values.
\n\n
\n
\n
\n The last pillar, acting as a world citizen, reflects corporate philanthropy actions towards the common good, whether for health, science, biodiversity, or solidarity. Stakes under this pillar take into account contributions toward society as a company and individually.
\n
\n
\n
We have worked with EcoVadis since 2017 in order to ensure that we are consistently improving our CSR approach. EcoVadis has assessed over 90,000 companies since its launch in 2007, making it the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. In 2021, Gattefossé was awarded the Platinum rating, the highest level of recognition, placing our company in the top 1% of evaluations in our sector.

There is great diversity in the color of human skin across the globe. From the very pale color of Celtic skin to the very dark skin tones present in Sub-Saharan Africa. But across all arrays of skin colors, all being beautiful, all are also subject to hyperpigmentation.
\n\n
According to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology, hyperpigmentation is a common, usually harmless condition in which patches of skin become darker in color than the normal surrounding skin. (1) Other sources may say that it’s not really a condition at all but more of a term that describes skin that appears to be darker. Hyperpigmentation can occur in small patches, cover large areas, and affect the entire body. And while increased pigmentation usually isn’t harmful, it can be a symptom of another medical condition. (2)
\n\n
Hyperpigmentation is primarily due to melanogenesis – the production of melanin. Melanocytes located at the bottommost basal layer of the epidermis are cells that produce melanin which is then transferred to neighboring keratinocytes. Other physiological mechanisms may allow melanin to even enter the dermal layer of skin. And when this happens, it takes much longer for hyperpigmentation to fade away if it can. Many hyperpigmentation disorders exist, including melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and sunspots, also known as age spots, liver spots, or solar lentigos. Fortunately, Gattefossé has a handful of ingredients that can address these concerns.
\n\n
\n
When it comes to preventing hyperpigmentation, UV protection is the best primary approach. According to Harvard Health Publishing, tinted sunscreens can help with skin conditions like hyperpigmentation and melasma because they can offer a color base to even out the skin tone while protecting the skin from UV rays. When it comes to sun protection and cosmetic coverage, Gattefossé has the perfect ingredient – Emulium® Illustro – our 4-time award-winning, natural W/O emulsifier specifically engineered for pigmented formulations, like makeup or suncare, as used in our Good Day Sunshine. Or better yet, why not a hybrid foundation sunscreen, much like our Natural CC Cream?
\nCheck out its excellent pigment dispersing properties:
\n\n\n
\n
If you’re already experiencing hyperpigmentation, chemical peels can be another technique to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, hands, and neck. This is where a chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off the layers of skin that show signs of hyperpigmentation. Gattefossé can offer Gatuline® Renew, a natural alternative to a chemical peel, derived from Japanese cedar buds, and rich in energetic phytochemicals. It acts on all steps of the epidermal cell renewal process, especially boosting KLK-5 enzymatic activity, a protein that plays a major role in desquamation to remove dead cells from the skin surface to reveal smoother, healthier, more radiant skin.
\n
And for those with visible age spots, Gatuline® Spot-Light will take a global approach to target all the possible causes throughout the skin:
\n
With the tagline “Age Spot Corrector,” this natural active fades age spot appearance, reduces their visibility and numbers and lightens the overall skin tone. Try our Fake Paint formulation as a mask or a targeting spot treatment.

Ever conscious of the harsh factors impacting their skin, consumers show a real affinity toward health-centric skincare products. The dermo-cosmetics segment or “Derma” brands are seeing a spike in popularity, aligned with the search for a preventive approach to beauty.
\nSolastemis™ is the latest active ingredient developed by Gattefossé, designed as an answer to concerns about skin health. Following in-depth research on the effects of UVA on the skin (read the article “Pathway to photoaging: The skin and the Sun”), it has been specifically highlighted for its ability to protect epidermal stem cells from UVA-induced DNA damage. It has a great potential to preserve the regeneration capacity of the epidermis and support long-lasting skin health and beauty.
\n\n
\n
Solastemis™ acts at the heart of the epidermis mechanics to protect epidermal cells from the undesired consequences of UVA radiation. Several in vitro models have been combined to evaluate the ability of Solastemis™ to protect the stemness of epidermal keratinocytes exposed to UVA radiation. We have shown that Solastemis™ can act at several stages of the DNA damage process. At an early stage, it reduces by 30% the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside cells, which are the first consequence of UVA radiation.
\n
Solastesmis™ also prevents the formation of DNA lesions: it reduces the number of different types of DNA lesions following UVA exposure and also boosts the enzymatic repair activities of such lesions (up to 2.3x).
\n As a consequence, keratinocytes stem cells are protected from harsh UVA impacts and display an improved clonogenic potential, meaning self-renewal potential. This guarantee the maintenance of the epidermal homeostasis and health over the long term.
Beyond the epidermis, we also looked at the ability of Solastemis™ to protect the extra-cellular matrix against the deleterious effects of UVA exposure. It was discovered that the elastic fibers and collagen network, as well as elastin and collagen I production, were preserved from UV-induced degradation.
\n\n
A double-blind clinical trial (active versus placebo) has been performed on a panel of 33 Caucasian women (aged 48.5 y.o. on average). The objective of the study was to assess the efficacy of a formula containing 2% Solastemis™ on the face of women with photo-exposed skin. A set of methodologies (including instrumental methods) was used to assess its capacity of reducing symptoms associated with sun exposure and photoaging.
\n
Results showed a clear anti-wrinkle effect, statistically significant vs. placebo (-12.5% area and length of wrinkles, -12.2% volume, based on image analysis on 3D acquisitions). Different analyses of the skin color reveal an improvement in the skin luminosity (+29%) and homogeneity (+27%), visible after only 1 month. These results are associated with a reduction of the biological age of the volunteers by 3.6 years on average (according to the Diagnoskin® method which establishes a correlation between the microrelief of the skin and its physiological age).
\n
\n
\n
Solastemis™ features a truly natural composition. Active molecules are extracted from Sechium edule, a fruit cultivated and manually harvested in the majestic cirque of Salazie, on La Reunion Island. Long-lasting relationships with local producers and harvesters guarantee Gattefossé with perfect traceability and quality, from field to factory. The Sechium edule used for Solastemis™ grows on a family farm dedicated to market gardening. According to jointly established specifications, Gattefossé only uses the fruits discarded from the market sales, following zero-waste principles.
\n Right after harvest, the fresh fruits are transformed directly on-site, sliced, and then dehydrated in a dedicated dryer. Gattefossé has been committed to the technical evolution of the producer’s facilities with the financing of a mechanical slicer and a dryer, in order to facilitate post-harvesting operations. As part of its CSR program, Gattefossé is also committed to the financial stability of this supply chain: a supply agreement has been set up to ensure regular income to the producer.
\n
The extraction through NaDES technology (Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents) and a tailor-made manufacturing process (minimal number of processing steps and a limited duration for each of them) make it possible to obtain an eco-designed ingredient (99.85% natural origin content – ISO 16128) associated with biological high performance.

With spring already here and summer approaching, we can see sunlight peeking through the clouds and instantly feel its mood-boosting effects. We rush outdoors to enjoy activities we’ve missed, intentionally beneath the sun, soaking in the rays and warmth. But as our seasonal depression (yes, it’s a real thing) subsides, we must not forget to protect our skin from the sun’s harmful effects.
\nSun protection should not only be top of mind during sunnier months, but all year long since UV exposure can always lead to sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. In fact, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, “having 5 or more sunburns,” whatever time of year, “doubles your risk for melanoma.”(1)
\n
\n
As consumers flee to travel and enjoy their spring breaks, we must remember that they have become increasingly more educated on personal care ingredients and more aware of their skin conditions in these past two years. The claims and experiences they had sought out during lockdown are now ones they seek in suncare products – from extra protective to multi-functional, to eco-friendly, and more.
\n\n
\n
Many consumers are looking for skincare benefits when it comes to their suncare. According to Mintel, 33% of American sun protection users are willing to pay more for suncare products with skincare benefits. Consumers have also shown interest in anti-aging, skin-toning, and acne-minimizing claims. (2)
\nAnother innovative way to develop sunscreen is to create more eco-minded products. In the US, 14% of sunscreen users are concerned that using sunscreen could be harmful to the environment, and this number rises to 22% for Gen Z users 18-24. Brazil consumers agree, with 28% interested in products that do not negatively impact the environment. With that in mind, brands have prioritized ethical, sustainable, eco-friendly packaging and vegan claims in their new sunscreen launches over the past five years. (2)
\nAnd finally, hybrid products that blur the lines between skincare, suncare, and even makeup, are also on the rise as consumers prefer multi-functionality, especially if they come in convenient, on-the-go formats.
\n\n

The sun is a vital source of energy. The human knows how to make good use of it.
\n Sunlight plays a key role in the synthesis of essential biomolecules: melatonin for the synchronization of circadian rhythms, vitamin D needed for the bone function and maintenance, endorphins which affect mood… But excessive sun exposure also leads to detrimental effects, especially on the skin…
\n
\n
A physical barrier between the inside and the outside, the skin is one of the most responsive organs to external aggressions, particularly to UV (Ultraviolet) radiation. Amongst all environmental factors responsible for extrinsic aging, repeated sun exposure is the most significant (representing 80% of extrinsic aging) and photoaging is the major consequence. Photoaged skins feature a set of typical modifications: wrinkles and fine lines, altered microrelief and coarse skin, lack of luminosity and pigmentary disorders.
\n\n
For decades, UVB rays have been considered more genotoxic than UVA. They are known to severely damage epidermis, causing local inflammation and sunburns and to penetrate to the heart of cells, down to the DNA. Their role in the generation of photoproducts and direct DNA lesions is clearly established.
\n Due to its capacity to penetrate deeper layers of the skin, UVA was mainly related to structural alterations of the dermis through the breakdown of collagen and elastin networks amongst others. But today, lots of scientific publications evidenced that UVA radiation is not as innocuous as previously thought.
\n There are several reasons to report:
\n – UVA is abundant at the Earth surface: more than 20 times abundant in sun radiation than UVB.
\n – It penetrates further into the skin, passing the epidermis and reaching the dermis, with damage described on both layers.
\n – It dramatically increases the oxidative stress level in the skin and generates oxidative DNA lesions.
\n – Endogenous DNA repair systems are overwhelmed by overexposure to UVA.
\n More precisely, research show that UVA is very likely to induce DNA lesions in the epidermal basal layer, which hosts the keratinocytes stem cells.
\n
\n
The epidermis is a living epithelium, composed of 90% keratinocytes arranged in layers, renewing every 3 weeks on average. The renewal of the epidermis is constant during its lifetime. But only a specific population of keratinocytes can proliferate and initiate the cell renewal process: they are named keratinocyte stem cells.
\n Commonly speaking, stem cells are the body’s raw materials, present from the embryonic stage of life. This specific type of cell holds the potential to differentiate into multiple cell types and tissues.
\n In the skin, the keratinocyte stem cells can be considered as the “mother” cells of the epidermis.
\n The integrity of these epidermal stem cells and their protection against environmental aggressors are absolutely key to ensure the long-term function and health of the epidermis.
\n
\n
Together with a research group specialized in genotoxic stress, Gattefossé uncovered that although keratinocyte stem cells benefit from very efficient DNA protection and repair systems, they can still be affected by UVA. Indeed, DNA lesions induced by UVA in keratinocytes are associated to a weakening of their self-renewal capacity, their so-called “stemness” potential, ultimately related to functional and structural alterations of the epidermis.
\n
\n Out of this work, an all-natural active ingredient has been developed and it aims at preserving keratinocytes stem cells from UVA-induced damage.
\n
\n Stay tuned to know more about this new photoprotective solution by Gattefossé…
Gravity is the force that attracts a body towards the center of the earth or toward any other physical body having mass. In other usages, the noun refers to extreme or alarming importance, a seriousness. When we talk about gravity in the world of beauty, both definitions apply. And the reason for this is best stated by American author Harlan Ellison who said: “nobody escapes age and gravity.”
\n\n
Sure, gravity may be a necessary force that keeps the universe in check, but it also impacts our skin tremendously as one major cause of sagging skin, a concern of utmost gravity! In 2017, Gattefossé conducted an exploratory study on four focus groups in France and learned that skin sagging is the main fear in the aging process for 18-25-year-olds, an unfortunate symptom, among others, for those 26 to 59 years of age, and a harsh reality for 60-70 years olds. Several studies have shown a clear link between skin sagging and gravity, (1,2) including an innovative research study by Dior that compared photographs of a woman jumping on a trampoline. The different stages of the jump represent different levels of gravity pressure, as seen below. (1)
\n\n
\n
\n
These insights inspired Gattefossé to develop a cosmetic ingredient that could bring support to the skin by increasing its capacity to resist pressure resulting in a free-from-gravity facial appearance. With a sharp focus on skin elasticity, Gattefossé developed EleVastin™, a 100% naturally derived active ingredient that promotes skin elasticity and functionality by boosting elastogenesis and biomechanical properties while simultaneously protecting against elastic degradation.
\n\n
With an INCI of Betaine/Water/Propanediol/Murraya Koenigii Stem Extract, this water-soluble anti-gravity hero ingredient can be incorporated into any type of cosmetic application at just 1% to help limit skin sagging, redesign the facial oval, and reduce deep and vertical wrinkles.
\n\n
Aging is no longer a problem but a source of pride, thanks to this punchy cream that upgrades mature skin. It brings a healthy glow thanks to its soft peach color and pearls and blurs imperfections and fine lines thanks to a soft-focus powder. Formulated with Emulium® Dolcea MB, its texture is soft and quickly absorbed while leaving a comfortable feel, and EleVastin™ significantly reduces the marks of time.
\n\n
Gravity is not a fatality! This colorful, pearlescent serum has been specially formulated to fight the signs of gravity over the years. Its fluid and fresh texture obtained thanks to Emulium® Dolcea MB penetrates quickly and leaves a soft finish on the skin. The long-term anti-gravity action provided by EleVastin™ is completed by the action of pullulan, which immediately lifts facial features.
\n\n
The face is not the only area to show signs of aging. This body butter is therefore an ally for all skins marked by gravity. Its bouncy texture, created with Emulium® Dolcea MB, penetrates quickly, leaves a very soft and comfortable after-feel without any greasy sensation. Thanks to EleVastin™, body contours are redefined and the skin is smoothed day after day.
\n\n
The neck and décolleté areas are particularly sensitive to the effects of time. This delicately colored cream is ideal for protecting and firming this body part. Thanks to its long playtime, it can be massaged for a long time to tone up and smooth the skin while EleVastin™ brings its anti-gravity action. Formulated with Emulium® Dolcea MB, it leaves a very soft and comfortable after-feel.

After months of working remotely, social withdrawal, and geographical restrictions, the desire to travel is stronger than ever. But the environmental impact of mass tourism darkens this desire. A real dilemma!
\nInstead of going to the other side of the globe, we can be satisfied with simple things. While favoring more environmentally friendly transport modes, one can discover or rediscover their own country and share time with loved ones to improve and create a memorable journey.
\nThe 2022 edition of INSPIRATION, called Escapism, invites to dream about next destinations while rethinking the way we travel. Gattefossé’s applications lab has therefore developed practical and innovative formulas to accompany travelers in their new adventures!
\n\n
\n
\n\n
These formulations have been designed to perfectly meet travelers needs: easily transportable, smaller and lighter than conventional versions, multifunctional, no waste left behind… The lab thought outside of the box to create cosmetics that practical but also desirable to attract new consumers.

For many of us, this time of year is all about festive cheer, fond memories with family and friends, and good food. On the flip side, they can also give rise to stress and fatigue caused by a lack of sleep or personal care that comes with the holiday frenzy. And this can be reflected in our skin which tends to look duller and less radiant. To combat these signs, we can look to products that energize the skin for more radiant and healthy skin to help you look like you are well-rested and ready to tackle the holiday chaos!
\n\n
\n
At Gattefossé, we have the mineral active that can be used in skincare to re-energize and revitalize. Oli’Vîne™ is a liquid stone extract derived from peridot and is rich in the element magnesium. In the human body, magnesium plays an essential role in the production of ATP, the source of energy that is used to drive many processes in the body such as muscle contraction and DNA synthesis. It can also help combat the effects of fatigue and stress to restore balance for more radiant skin.
\n
\n
To determine the energizing effect, the ATP level of human keratinocytes and fibroblasts was measured using bioluminescence when treated with Oli’Vîne™. As seen from the results, when used at 1%, Oli’Vîne™ increased ATP levels in keratinocytes by 23%. In fibroblasts, ATP levels were increased by 26% when 0.1% of Oli’Vîne™ was used. This shows how our mineral complex can be used to increase cellular energy, providing a boost in energy to combat dull skin.
\nOli’Vîne™ also works by reducing cellular stress which was determined by measuring the mitochondrial membrane potential. When subjected to stress, the mitochondrial membrane potential will increase as an adaptive response and produce more ATP. When Oli’Vîne™ was used, the adaptive response was decreased by 37% which proves that our active helps to reduce cellular stress.
\nTo ensure that your skin is not affected by the holiday mania, utilize skin care products with Oli’Vîne™ to energize your skin and leave you with more radiant, fatigue-free skin!

Imagine. You’re wandering through the forest on a cold, dark Halloween night. The only sounds are the rustling of leaves and the hooting of owls. The only light comes from the full moon in the distance. You were just trying to find the house that gives out full size candy bars, when you strayed off the sidewalk and now, you’re lost in the dark. Suddenly, a huge, looming werewolf emerges from the gloom. It’s hideous! With shaggy, matted hair covering its grotesque figure from head to toe. You run in horror, reminded of your own hair when you first get out of bed in the morning. Aaaaah!
\nTormented by the full moon, werewolves walk among us as people, undetected until the moon calls to them to transform into horrible, tormented, bloodthirsty beasts. But the worst part of being a werewolf? The knots, the matting, the unruly dull coat of hair! Yikes!
\nThis Halloween, avoid the horrors of werewolf hair with Definicire®
\nDefinicire® is a natural, PEG-free, silicone-free ingredient designed especially for hair care. The components of this natural ingredient were carefully selected to obtain a biomimetic composition that recreates the hair’s natural protective lipid layer, without the associated greasiness.
\nRestoring the protective layer of the hair brings several benefits for both curly and straight hair.
\nFor naturally curly or frizzy hair, Definicire® is significantly better than both silicones and quats at providing a barrier against humidity and maintaining curl style.
\n\n
As you can see in the graph below, Definicire® also helps with curl definition.
\nFor straight hair, Definicire® has been proven to prevent frizz and flyaways. And finally, Definicire® makes brushing and combing significantly easier on both wet and dry tresses, for all hair types and was well appreciated by human and werewolf consumers in both rinse-off and leave-on products. This unique ingredient is also readily biodegradable, making it well suited for use in both leave-on and rinse-off hair care applications.
\nSo, if the next full moon has you terrified of the effects of werewolfism on your hair – turn to Definicire® to be the best-looking wolf in the woods!

At Gattefossé, we believe that inspiration and creativity come through collaboration. For more than 10 years, we have been working with Carlin, a trend agency, on their Beauty Trend Notebooks by proposing tailor-made textures, in line with the themes of the future.
\nDiscover the fruit of our contribution this year, related to graphic lines, water and Mother Earth!
\n\n
\n
In this theme, lines draw graphic shapes on the body. Colors are also very present, catching the eye to these strange designs that create an inspiring dynamic.
\n\n
\n
Caramask (2373-1.24) perfectly represents this idea, through its stringy texture and surprising pick-up! Its original texture and gourmand perfume make it look like caramel. It is formulated with a high amount of cetyl alcohol and glycerin which give it an intended soaping effect, and hydroxypropyl guar which brings this stringy texture. Emulium® Dolcea MB creates the emulsion but also helps to rinse it off.
\n\n
\n
This theme honors hydration and fresh, sensory textures. Colors are cool but still soft and the skin is glowy, almost lustrous. Water is omnipresent, as a symbol of hydration and life.
\n\n
\n
Quenching Blue Serum (2390-2.03) was chosen for its super moisturizing texture and refreshing light blue color. Its fluid texture is ideal for thirsty skin. Its high amount of glycols brings moisturization, as well as Emulium® Dolcea MB which has demonstrated its moisturizing properties in a clinical test. Its light blue color is brought by Mala’Kîte™, a malachite stone extract. It also protects the skin against digital pollution thanks to EnergiNius®.
\n\n
\n
We are taken back to ancestral times paying a tribute to noble materials. Driven by warm and animal colors, this theme celebrates raw materials and naturality.
\n\n
\n
Hair & Scalp Mud Mask (2441-1.03) featured here is inspired by Mother Earth, and it contains green clay and walnut. This mask purifies and detoxifies the hair and the scalp thanks to the clay while remaining comfortable thanks to its emulsified texture obtained with Emulium® Dolcea MB which rinses easily. Definicire® and Gatuline® Age Defense NP protects the hair and scalp against humidity and oxidation.

\nHowever, this crisis has changed the haircare habits of consumers and accelerated some trends such as inclusivity, naturality and scalp care. Consumers are no longer trying to hide their true hair nature, but want to assume it naturally, while enhancing it. It is therefore important to understand this evolving market to offer products that will meet the new consumer’s expectations.
\n\n
\n
Each consumer is unique, his or her hair and scalp therefore need targeted care adapted to their nature to express all their beauty and vitality.
\nConsumer demands vary widely around the world. According to Mintel, naturality is a very strong trend in Europe (even if it tends to spread to all continents), inclusivity is especially sought after in America, whereas consumers in Asia are more in search of hybrid hair formulations and scalp products.
\nGlobally, consumers are looking for products that will target their needs in a very specific way. For example, 46%* of Chinese are interested in personalized hair products that target their hair type and needs, and 44%* of French are interested in personalized products adapted to their hair texture.
\nMoreover, much like in skincare and makeup, it is time to bring inclusivity in haircare. Aging is now celebrated through the menopause beauty movement, and age-related hair concern are targeted by some brands: greying, thinning, dryness or hair quality. Finally, more and more brands are now on a mission to change the discourse on ethnic hair. Forget the idea that textured hair is difficult to manage and should be controlled, and let it show its true beauty!
\n\n
\n
Textured hair is represented by wavy, curly and coily hair according to the Andre Walker hair type classification.
\n\n
\n
It is a very present concern in the US, where 56%* of consumers have textured hair. This is precisely the case for black people who have mostly curly to coily hair. Until now, black people with textured hair were very little represented in the media or in the beauty shelves. But more and more brands have realized that this hair type deserves as much care (if not more!) as other hair types, and they now offer complete ranges dedicated to it. And consumers are in demand since according to Mintel, US Black consumers spent around $1.71 billion on hair products in 2020, a figure set to reach $1.9 billion by 2025.
\n\n
\n
Haircare products with natural and ethical claims continue to rise around the world, especially in Europe and the US, fuelled by consumer interest in products that are perceived as healthier and safer for the planet, humans and animals, and by ongoing global warming concerns. Asian consumers, until now not very interested in this trend, are starting to demand more natural products: 46%* of Chinese consumers who have colored or styled their hair prefer natural botanical formulas.
\nAmong these claims, “free from” claims are still reassuring, and some cosmetic ingredients such as silicones or sulfates are unwelcome in haircare products. Since 2016, the vegan claim has invaded haircare package labelling with an increase of 369%*! Biodegradability has also taken an impressive jump in haircare products with a 242%* increase in the number of launches since 2016. It is especially true for rinse-off formulas, as they go through our shower drains into the environment.
\nFinally, when it comes to haircare and the possible sustainable solutions associated, it is nearly impossible not to talk about the solid format as the number of haircare launches in bar form has literally exploded since 2018, mainly for shampoos and conditioners. But aside from bars, solid cosmetics can also come as powders, sticks, balms, tabs or pastes.
\n\n
\n
Hair is a fragile structure that is subject to life hazards. For example, heredity, stress, hormones, nutritional deficiencies, or certain diseases can strongly weaken the hair fiber and lead to hair loss or breakage. The health crisis has amplified these problematics. For 85% of people, Covid-19 made life more stressful according to the Office for National Statistics published in August 2020.
\nIt is possible to use haircare products that help prevent and reduce hair loss and breakage, but one of the most effective ways is to work on the scalp. The scalp has been in the spotlight for a few years as it is now defined as the extension of facial skin that is key to have beautiful hair. Consumers have realized that it is important to take care of this area since more than 90%* of Chinese consumers agree that scalp care can improve their hair health and 78% of Italian consumers have used or are interested in using haircare products that protect the scalp microbiome.
\nThe scalp care is also an opportunity to talk about dandruff, hair loss, lack of volume or hair thinning, concerns that are encountered by many consumers. For example, 22%* of female UK consumers are concerned about hair loss and 56%* of Chinese consumers are worried about dandruff.

Definicire® is a natural texturizing agent based on the patented Gattefossé wax butter technology. It is PEG-free, silicone-free, and it was especially designed for haircare. The raw materials were carefully selected to obtain a biomimetic composition that would recreate the hair’s protective lipid layer. It was even confirmed through substantiation tests that Definicire® could rival the performance of quaternary compounds and silicones. Suitable for all hair types, it increases hair hydrophobicity, ensures hair discipline, enhances hair smoothness and has anti-pollution properties.
\nFinally, it is COSMOS approved and readily biodegradable: 95% of the ingredient was biodegraded after 28 days, according to OECD 301F method.
\nDefinicire® has been integrated into a range of 5 formulations especially created for hair and scalp care.
\n\n
\n
Three leave-on haircare products have been formulated to satisfy all hair types according to Andre Walker classification. In order to make the most of their effect, it is preferable to use them on damp hair (after a shower or using a water spray) and to let hair dry in the open air or with a hair dryer.
\n\n
\n
