Ingredients under the magnifying glass

The ingredients of our formulas have been selected according to very strict dermatological criteria and recommended by independent toxicological experts. Classified in three main categories of active ingredients, you will discover the nature, role and origin of each by clicking on their name.

Here are grouped the ingredients that contribute to the expected effectiveness of the product: those that optimize or preserve the biological skin's mechanisms (such as hydration, regeneration, lipid-replenishing action), and those that have a very specific physico-chemical action (exfoliating, matifying, sun filters ...).

The ingredients listed here are those contained in the latest formula for this product. As there may be a time lag between its production and its distribution on the market, we invite you to consult the list of ingredients on the packaging.

C12-15 alkyl benzoate

What is it?

Fatty alcohol derivative.

What’s the point?

Emollient: soothes and softens the skin.

How do you get it?

Synthesis

To select an ingredient, NAOS can call on synthesis in order to:
- reconstitute a natural molecule without having to extract it from a plant and thus better respect biodiversity,
- obtain a pure, perfectly defined ingredient.

Dicaprylyl carbonate

What is it?

Fatty alcohol derivative.

What’s the point?

Emollient: soothes and softens the skin.

How do you get it?

Combination of fatty alcohol of plant origin, and a synthesised carbonate derivative.

What’s the point?

Participates in Cellular Protection.
To protect itself from cellular damage caused by exposure to the sun, the skin relies on natural protection mechanisms that can sometimes prove insufficient. Cellular protection blocks the reactions of free radicals, which leads to the protection of cell membranes. It helps to limit the skin's photoaging effect and improves the skin's barrier function.

How do you get it?

Component naturally found in the skin, extracted from vegetable oil.
