Tout savoir sur la couperose
Couperose is a skin condition that affects between 2 and 3% of the French population. Often associated with rosacea, it manifests as diffuse redness, increased sensitivity, and significant daily discomfort.
To meet the needs of these fragile skins, we have developed a skincare routine specifically designed for skin prone to rosacea, couperose, and erythrosis. Its objective: to immediately soothe, reduce sensations of discomfort, and support the skin day after day.
At the heart of this routine, our nourishing elixir, concentrated with over 62% snail slime extract, helps the skin regenerate, visibly reduce redness, and decrease skin sensitivity. A gentle and targeted response to restore more comfortable, soothed skin and a better quality of life.
An effective and natural solution
COUPEROSE & ROSACEA ROUTINE - Atopic skin
Rosacea and acne rosacea represent two stages of the same skin problem. Certain factors, such as climatic aggressions. The skin then becomes drier, more sensitive and prone to tightness.
To soothe it long-term, it is essential to adopt a skincare routine that reinforces hydration. Better hydrated, the skin regains more daily comfort.
Suitable for very sensitive, weakened, atopic or imbalanced skin.
Excellent product. I recommend it to my family and friends.
Causes of rosacea
The causes of rosacea are multifactorial, resulting from a combination of environmental, genetic, and hormonal factors. Temperature variations, such as prolonged exposure to sun or intense cold, are among the most frequent triggers. When the skin is exposed to these conditions, it reacts by dilating the small blood vessels located mainly on the cheeks and nose.
This excessive dilation not only leads to visible redness but also to a loss of vessel elasticity, making the skin more fragile and hypersensitive.
And also genetic factors
Genetic predispositions can play a crucial role in the skin's increased susceptibility to developing rosacea. Some individuals inherit a predisposition to have more fragile blood vessels or skin that is more reactive to external stimuli, thus increasing their vulnerability to this skin condition. Similarly, hormonal changes can influence blood circulation and the reactivity of cutaneous vessels, exacerbating rosacea symptoms in some people.
How does snail slime work on couperose and rosacea?
- Soothing effect
- Relieves itching
- Skin repair
- Calms sensitivity
- Reduces redness
- Less tightness and itching
- Visibly more balanced skin
- Strengthened skin barrier
Science confirms these benefits
Numerous scientific studies demonstrate the anti-inflammatory action of snail slime extract
Helixitherapy for sensitive skin
Our snail mucin contains a synergy of bioactive compounds, including allantoin, active peptides, and molecules with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. By helping to limit oxidative stress and inflammatory mechanisms, these active ingredients contribute to protecting skin cells and creating a more favorable environment for skin repair.
This action is enhanced by the presence of peptides involved in scarring processes, which promotes cell regeneration and skin renewal.

What is Helicitherapy?
Helicitherapy is snail-based skincare. A concept patented by Mademoiselle Agathe, which combines organic certified mucus extract with plants sourced from the heart of the Pays de la Loire region. It is the osmosis of animal and plant that gives our skincare its full effectiveness.
The proteins predominantly present in our mucus are Hemocyanin, Actin, and Tubulin; they activate cellular respiration, deep regeneration, and play a key role in the healing of skin cells, etc.

100% manual harvesting — the only way to preserve the proteins.
We harvest the mucus after spawning — when it's richest in protein. Each snail is picked individually, when ready. No centrifuges, no electric shocks. Because stressing the animal degrades the quality of the mucus. And because it's the only animal-friendly approach.
Agriculture is a harmonious circle of life: plants nourish humans and animals, humans look after the land and living things, and animals, in turn, nourish humans through their resources and enrich the soil that will give rise to the crops of tomorrow.

Patrice Lambert
SNAIL FARMER • PARTNER SINCE 2013
Patrice organically raises "Gros gris" snails on beds of radishes, clover, and laurel between the Drôme and Ardèche regions. The mucus is harvested entirely by hand—each snail taken one by one, when it is ready. Without stress, without centrifuges, without electric shocks. These breeding snails live up to 4 to 5 years on the farm, compared to 1 to 2 years in the wild.

Titouan Goenvec
ORGANIC SHEEP FARMER · NEW PARTNER
Titouan raises 300 organic suckler ewes in a mixed crop-livestock system in the Sarthe region. The wool from his sheep - until now undervalued, sometimes even discarded - is now becoming the keratin in our hair care range. Shearing is essential for the well-being of the sheep: it prevents parasites, reduces the risk of overheating, and promotes quality wool. A noble agricultural co-product, finally used to its full potential.
