THESE NATURAL AND UNUSUAL COSMETIC INGREDIENTS
You are the first to do so, you, the followers of Mademoiselle Agathe. Turning to unusual natural ingredients is becoming commonplace today. Whether they fascinate or demonstrate real virtues, Mademoiselle Agathe takes you on a tour of these cosmetic curiosities, in the forefront of which is our dear snail slime.
snail slime
In pole position of this off-trail listing is our snail slime. All right, we preach here for our parish, but the snail hides properties under its shell that you won't come back from.
First moisturizing, snail slime deeply nourishes the dermis. Secondly, the famous mucus helps heal damaged skin. It is also strongly recommended in the treatment of skin problems such as psoriasis or acne.
Loaded with collagen and elastin, two proteins responsible for the skin's elasticity, snail slime also helps fight wrinkles effectively. Mademoiselle Agathe's anti-aging serum is a convincing example here. Formulated with 93% snail slime, it helps cell regeneration and renews the tone of your skin.
Finally, the liquid of our little gastropod contains antioxidant and exfoliating properties. In this regard, Mademoiselle Agathe has developed her face scrub treatment. Because, as surprising as it is, mucus naturally contains glycolic acid, providing a gentle and natural peel.
Finally, it also fits perfectly into a sun routine. With its highly moisturizing and healing properties, snail slime effectively protects against UV rays. How do you still don't have your Mademoiselle Agathe tinted SPF50+ sunscreen to start the summer?
bee venom
Another animal, flying this time... Imagine that bee venom also has its secret weapon. It is made up of no less than 40 active ingredients, including in particular adolapine with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. A dangerous but precious liquid that also contains a cosmetic secret: melitin. When this toxin rubs against the skin, the latter reacts as if it had been bitten. Automatically, a natural defense reaction intervenes, causing a stimulation of the blood flow as well as a peak of collagen production. The effect is immediate: the epidermis is smooth and plumped.
caviar
On the sea side, caviar contains its share of surprises. The luxurious little black beads also concentrate firming properties. Indeed, sturgeon eggs are loaded with omega 3, protein and trace elements. Also, retinol and amino acids make it the promise of a powerful anti-wrinkle. Unless you would rather eat it...
bird droppings
Less appetizing, bird droppings can be reused as a mask. But not just any excrement: that of the Japanese nightingale... It is a noble product used in the past by geishas who smeared it on their skin to moisturize the face. This ingredient was mainly used to cultivate the whiteness of their skin and soften it. Today, mixed with rice bran, it is very successful in a few popular addresses in New York.
Hemp
My god, cannabis in my cosmetics!! Do not panic, all this is completely legal. The one contained in cosmetics is Cannabis Sativa, and not Indica, used for more "festive" activities, shall we say.
What is its interest in cosmetics?
Hemp is supplied in seeds, hemp seeds, from which an oil rich in: polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega 3 and 6, vitamins (A, B1, B3, B4, B6, E), minerals, proteins and amino acids is extracted. This super mix contains moisturizing, nourishing, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and healing properties.
Why not test? Legally!
The placenta
One last for the road and not the least. Sheep placenta is acclaimed by stars who use it in the form of a mask for its lifting properties.
It is also used in the form of henna to repair the hair.
Yes, we understand you, the snail is much cuter!
