Les Crêtes DeVin Cosmetics: from grapes to natural skin care

The oil of grape seeds, obtained by cold pressing process, is extracted from the seeds of the grapes, strictly without the use of chemical solvents. The seeds of grape seed contain a concentrate of antioxidant substances (such as linoleic acid and vitamin E) It can counteract the aging of the skin and protect the skin from free radicals. The seeds are also rich in active substances that have a moisturizing, smoothing and lightening action. This pool of substances helps to keep the epidermis elastic and luminous, slowing down the formation of wrinkles and repairing the signs of skin aging.

Organic compound in whose structure there are three groups very similar to water. Its role is to maintain proper hydration since it has the ability to retain and bind water. It has a marked wetting action, preventing peeling and skin dryness.

A true wealth of nature, with soothing, emollient and protective action. It offers a shield against aggressive weather agents, for an immediate effect of well-being and comfort.

Precious moisturizing mixture composed of salts (of Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc, Calcium) linked to PCA, sugars, amino acids (including proline, amino acid fundamental for the synthesis of collagen), urea, allantoin that ensures deep and lasting hydration for even, hydrated and luminous skin. It is a skin hydro-regulation factor, naturally present in the epidermis hydrolipidic film that prevents excessive dehydration and allows to keep intact, The skin surface is elastic and flexible. It is composed of water-soluble and hygroscopic substances. It is abundantly present in the corneocytes where it performs wetting functions. However, being water soluble it is easily removable with solvents, detergents, water and sweat. Its levels also decrease due to physiological aging and excessive exposure to sunlight.

Some bacterial plant micro-organisms produce high molecular weight polysaccharides to improve their defence capacity and survival. These polysaccharides form a protective matrix against environmental aggressions. This thin film interacts with the skin surface and promotes the elimination of exogenous substances harmful and aggressive to the body such as fine dust, heavy metals, free radicals, toxins.

Rich in mucilages (including alginates), mineral salts, with a emollient action, moisturizing, softening, protective, ideal for dry skin.

The ultimate moisturizing molecule, naturally present in the skin to retain water in the tissues. Its task is to keep the skin elastic, tight and hydrated and increase its plasticity. In both low and high molecular weight form, obtained by bio-fermentation of plant material.

Protein of beauty, with structural support function and ability to trap water in tissues. It determines the taut, elastic and compact appearance of the skin. It is used in hydrolyzed form because directly bioavailable to counter atonie and prevent the formation of wrinkles.

Highly dermo-compatible, it counteracts skin aging, moisturizes and enhances natural cell regeneration. It forms a protective veil that nourishes the skin soft and velvety.
