Safic Alcan
Our universal minimalist cream composed of 10 ingredients conceals many surprises. This formula was designed thanks to an innovative ingredient based on the HIPE (High Internal Phase Emulsion) complex technology.
If a traditional emulsion makes it possible to integrate up to 74% of water, the HIPE system helps incorporate over 90% hydrophilic internal phase.
This technological feat is possible thanks to the polygonal, non-spherical structure of the dispersed phase.
Using an innovative, unique ingredient – a real keystone in this formula - helped us easily obtain a radiant white cream with a rich texture for excellent handling and easy application.
You will appreciate the elegant sensoriality of the application and be astonished by the quick-break effect providing an ultra-fresh sensation and leaving a protective film and very soft finish.
Our meticulous selection of multifunctional ingredients creates a rich, velvety texture and prevents the addition of too many additives. This minimalist formula is economical and environmentally friendly.
The universal minimalist cream will seduce both kids and adults thanks to the pleasure of use provided by its freshness and comfort.

Sensient
Instant Activation Mask.
Instant Activation Mask, a playful formula with an immediate effect, was developed to seduce DIY and customization lovers. You can play with colours, the combined actives, and perfumes depending on the sensorial experience you expect and the results you hope for.
With only ten, 99% natural ingredients, this mask fully meets consumer demand for ‘transparent’, natural products without compromising on performance.
Formulated with sugar for gentle exfoliating, this mask is enriched in actives based on mattifying, detoxifying fossilized algae from the old volcano lakes of the French Auvergne region, but also on purifying zinc oxide.
A pigment is used to give the powder its initial pink shade. Thanks to an aqueous thickener based on potato starch, the powder instantaneously turns into gel when it comes in contact with water.
The green colourant obtained by chlorophyll extraction is only unveiled by adding water to give the mask its final colour.

Seppic
Lemon meringue pie.
GELTRAPTM duo, nourishing, comforting body care.
Playful concept, two-phase cream with:
• At the bottom, a lemon cream
• On the surface, a meringue cream with its spikes!
A gourmet cosmetic product evoking a lemon meringue pie thanks to its appearance, texture, and smell!
Simple, minimalist formula. The two superimposed formulas are identical in terms of composition and process.
The two phases are obtained with a bulking rotor-stator process involving the GELTRAPTM technology (gel in oil) and the EASYNOVTM lipophilic emulsifier.
It helps get consistency and comfort with very little oil and only eight raw materials (i.e. 10 INCI ingredients).
Key ingredients:
• SEPIMAXTM ZEN, a thickening polymer which provides a floaty texture. It stabilizes the air bubbles incorporated when the gel forms during the bulking process. It also creates the elastic texture that maintains the meringue spikes.
• LANOLTM P, a consistency agent which gives GELTRAPTM density and enhances the powdery finish.

Sytheon
Formulating a sun product with a high protection factor is a real challenge for formulators. It raises four major problems related to the high sun filter concentration:
• Modified tolerance and skin toxicity
• Poor sensorial qualities
• Negative impact on the marine environment
• Economic issue related to the cost of sun filters
UVINESSENCE 50+ benefits from a unique technology which helps obtain a 3.1 SPF yield for a liquid spray (number of units SPF/% of filters).
With only 18% filters (all authorized worldwide), you reach an SPF56 (
in vivo
FDA), a critical wavelength of 376 nm, and excellent photostability thanks to Synoxyl® HSS, a photostabilizer and SPF booster.
HydraSynol® DOI plays a double role: it is moisturizing (Aquaporin pathway) and acts as an acrylic polymer bioplasticizer.
A few minutes after applying the anhydrous spray, the persistent quality and invisibility of the film on the surface combine performance and sensoriality. The latter criterion is essential to encourage the user to frequently reapply the product.
The simple, efficient combination of multifunctional ingredients in a preservative-free formula offers an excellent economical profile and enhanced neutrality for the marine environment.
