CES INGREDIENTS COSMETIQUES NATURELS ET INSOLITES
You are the first to do so, you, the followers of Miss Agathe. Turning to unusual natural ingredients is becoming commonplace today. Whether they fascinate or demonstrate real virtues, Miss Agathe takes you on a tour of these cosmetic curiosities, in the forefront of which is our dear snail slime.
La bave d'escargot
En pole position de ce listing hors sentier se trouve notre bave d'escargot. D'accord, on prêche ici pour notre paroisse, mais l'escargot cache sous sa coquille des propriétés dont vous ne reviendrez pas.
D'abord hydratante, la bave d'escargot nourrit le derme en profondeur. Secundo, le fameux mucus permet de cicatriser les peaux abîmées. Il est d'ailleurs vivement recommandé dans le traitement de problèmes cutanés tels que le psoriasis ou bien l'acné.
Chargée en collagène et en élastine, deux protéines à l'origine de l'élasticité de la peau, la bave d'escargot permet aussi de lutter efficacement contre les rides. Le sérum anti-âge de Mlle Agathe en est ici un exemple probant. Formulé avec 93 % de bave d'escargot, il aide la régénération cellulaire et renouvelle la tonicité de votre peau.
Enfin, le liquide de notre petit gastéropode contient des propriétés antioxydantes et exfoliante. A ce propos, Mlle Agathe a mis au point son soin gommage visage. Car, aussi surprenant qu'il soit, le mucus contient naturellement de l'acide glycolique, offrant un peeling doux et naturel.
Enfin, elle s'intègre aussi parfaitement à une routine solaire. Avec ses vertus hautement hydratantes et cicatrisantes, la bave d'escargot protège efficacement des UV. Comment ça vous n'avez toujours pas votre crème solaire SPF50+ teintée de Mlle Agathe pour démarrer l'été ?
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!
