*Ingredients from organic farming
**Derived from natural essential oils
Extraction: Aloe Vera is a perennial plant native to warm climates. The gel contained in its leaves is commonly used in skin treatments due to its many beneficial properties.
Benefits: Known as an astringent, this plant also has moisturizing, regenerating, rejuvenating and antibacterial properties. These properties are perfect for revitalizing skin. It also functions as a deep cleansing agent, opening pores and eliminating toxins that cause the disruptions in the skin’s normal functioning. It also benefits the hair by restoring shine and helping to eliminate excess dandruff and scalp irritations. It is used especially effective for treating skin irritations, blemishes and acne.
Extraction: it is naturally extracted from the zincite, a mineral that contains 80% zinc oxide.
Benefits: zinc oxide is a natural motionless mineral that acts as a solar protector reflecting and scattering radiations. It acts on the skin in a superficial way as a mirror, adding an effective barrier against sun rays. Its protection power is highly effective against UVA radiations, visible lighting and IR.
It also adds benefits as seborgulator, improving oily skins and lowering acne chances, spots and reducing skin irritation and inflammation.
Obtaining:
It's a plant-based ester obtained by combining fatty alcohols from coconut with medium-chain fatty acids (caprylic, and often capric), usually derived from vegetable oils. The result is a very stable and lightweight ingredient, designed to provide a silky feel without a greasy sensation.
Benefits:
It functions as a ""silk effect"" emollient and is a classic in natural formulations because it helps achieve a very cosmetic sensory experience: it leaves the skin soft, flexible, and with a satin finish, improving the spreadability of creams and oils without heaviness. In hair products, it adds shine and softness, reduces the feeling of roughness, and helps the hair feel more ""polished"" without resorting to silicones, making it a popular natural alternative for achieving smoother application and a more pleasant feel.
Extraction: water is an element present in most cosmetic products and is the most important raw material. In the cosmetics industry, purified water is used in a process to eliminate any solid particle that may contain water in order to achieve a higher degree of purity and quality.
Benefits: water helps to cleanse the body. Hydrates and improves the effect of other active ingredients, provides softness and delays premature aging of the skin.
Obtaining:
It is an ester obtained by esterification of adipic acid with butanol, resulting in a very stable oily liquid with low viscosity. In cosmetics, it is used as a ""light oil"" in formulations due to its excellent sensory properties and compatibility with many systems.
Benefits:
It acts as an emollient and sensory agent: it provides a soft, silky, and highly gliding feel, improves spreadability, and helps reduce the sticky sensation of some formulas, leaving a drier and more elegant finish. It is commonly found in sun care and body products because it can enhance application and the ""after-feel,"" and generally helps the formula feel more cosmetic and comfortable on the skin."
Obtaining:
It is an ester obtained by combining polyglycerin-6 (derived from glycerin, of vegetable origin) with stearic acid (a fatty acid found in vegetable oils and fats). The result is a non-ionic ingredient, widely used in ""natural"" formulations due to its good tolerance profile and versatility.
Benefits:
It primarily functions as an emulsifier and co-emulsifier in oil-in-water emulsions, helping to create creamy, smooth, and stable textures with a pleasant sensorial feel that is less ""waxy"" than other systems. It improves spreadability, provides a feeling of comfort, and can contribute to a silkier skin without leaving a heavy film.
Extraction: It is obtained through the polyesterification of ricinoleic acid, derived from castor oil.
Benefits: It enhances the stability of cosmetic emulsions, acts as an emulsifier and dispersing agent, providing smooth textures, improving the absorption of active ingredients, and increasing the efficacy of lipophilic formulations."
Obtaining:
It is a triglyceride (triester of glycerin) formed by three molecules of heptanoic acid attached to a glycerol backbone. In cosmetics, it is used as a light and very stable oil/ester, valued for its good compatibility in emulsions and oily systems.
Benefits:
On the skin, it primarily acts as an emollient and ""skin conditioning"": it improves softness and a silky feel, helps with spreadability (allowing the cream/oil to glide and distribute better) and can help reduce water loss through evaporation by forming a light film (supporting surface hydration). Additionally, it is used as a component of the oil phase to optimize texture and, in some formulas, as a vehicle/solvent for liposoluble ingredients, enhancing the sensorial experience without leaving a heavy greasy finish.
Extraction: esterified glycerin with a mixture of citric, lactic, linoleic and oleic acid. This ingredient is of vegetable origin.
Benefits: acts as a lubricant on the skin’s surface to give it a soft, smooth appearance. It also slows down water loss by forming a protective barrier. Furthermore, in terms of formulation, it helps to form oil-water emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances present.
Extraction: it is harvested from plants (soy or coconut oil for example) by hydrolysis of fats and by fermenting sugars. Glycerol is found naturally in skin and is considered a self-healing compound.
Benefits: it is one of the many substances in the skin that helps maintain the outer barrier and prevents dryness and peeling. It leaves skin feeling nourished and works to treat acne. It also prevents the accumulation of fat and improves the appearance of hair. Vegetable glycerin can be used as a diluent and as an alcohol substitute when preparing herbal extracts.
Extraction: alpha-bisabolol is a natural monocyclic sesquiterpene alcohol, originally from Brazil, found in plants such as chamomile or candeia argol.
Benefits: it is a powerful skin calming agent, which minimises redness induced by UV rays and also protects against other external aggressions and environmental stress. This natural active ingredient counteracts premature ageing. It is a great agent to fight inflammations and irritations of the most sensitive skins.
Extraction: this seaweed is one of the great riches of the Menor Sea. It contains the highest levels of protein and amino acids of its species. In addition, it has a high concentration of mycosporin-type amino acids, due to its great exposure to the sun's rays.
Benefits: improves the structure of the hair, considerably increasing the elasticity and resistance of hair fibers. It also provides protection against external aggressions, dehydration and frizz.
Sourcing: The extract is obtained from Cystoseira seaweed. It’s native to the Mediterranean and mainly inhabits rocky substrates exposed to the sun and waves.
Benefits: It reduces excess melanin production and slows down the maturation of melanosomes to keep them from malfunctioning.
Obtaining:
This is an extract obtained from the seeds of Pongamia pinnata (Indian beech/Karanja). These types of extracts contain lipid fractions and characteristic compounds of the seed, such as pongamol and karanjin, which are part of the plant's phytochemical profile.
Benefits:
In cosmetics, it is mainly used for its antioxidant activity from Pongamia pinnata seed extracts, which aligns with its use as support against oxidative stress. It also supports UV protection/SPF boosting due to its content of certain seed compounds.
Obtaining: this extract is obtained from the root of the licorice plant. It is cultivated in many countries and has been used since ancient times as a condiment for its sweet-sour aniseed flavor.
Benefits: it contains saponins, flavonoids, coumarins and triterpenoids. It has immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Protects against ageing and photoageing and has antiseptic properties.
Extraction: Lotus has always had special significance, even in ancient times. This flower, characteristic of the Nile, was appreciated by the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. Later, it was taken to Syria and from there, its cultivation was transferred to India and China. It is widely used in traditional Ayurveda and Siddha medicine for the treatment of inflammations, and is also an aphrodisiac and a tonic.
Benefits: This lotus species is among of many variants of lotus and shares active properties with other and lotus extracts from Egypt. Its action inhibits the production of leptin, effectively reducing sebaceous hypersecretion. This is done by reducing the reducing the molecules involved in the sebum and inflammatory formation processes It reduces the amount of lipids present in sebum which are responsible for inflammation and acne. As a result, unwanted shine is decreased by 15%, imperfections by 41%, and fat synthesis by 44%.
Obtaining:
It is a polymer/oligomer derived from hydroxystearic acid (very often 12-hydroxystearic acid), which can be obtained from fat materials of vegetable origin, classically related to castor oil derivatives. Through polymerization/condensation processes, this ""longer"" molecule is obtained, with great affinity for oily phases and mineral powder surfaces.
Benefits:
In cosmetic formulation, it is mainly used as a dispersant and stabilizer of pigments and mineral filters: it helps to better wet and disperse powders such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide in the oil phase, reducing clumping and improving application uniformity. This usually results in smoother and silkier textures, with better glide, and in mineral sunscreens, it can help reduce the ""paste"" feeling and optimize the finish (less drag/whitening, depending on the formula). Additionally, it contributes to the stability of anhydrous systems and emulsions with a high particle load, providing a more cosmetic sensory experience and better spreadability.
Sourcing: Polyglyceryl-6 Behenate is obtained by esterifying vegetable behenic acid, derived from oils such as moringa, with naturally sourced polyglycerin.
Benefits: It acts as a gentle emulsifier, improving the stability and texture of cosmetics. It hydrates without a greasy feel, making it ideal for sensitive skin. It facilitates the absorption of active ingredients and contributes to eco-friendly and biodegradable formulas, being a natural alternative to synthetic emulsifiers in skincare products.
Extraction: mixture of cetyl and stearic alcohols that are produced naturally in plants.
Benefits: these alcohols have the ability to prevent emulsions from separating between their oily and watery parts. These ingredients are also used to alter the thickness of liquid products, to increase foam capacity or to stabilize them.
Extraction: this ingredient is derived from glycerin and stearic acid, a fatty acid obtained from vegetable oils. It is found naturally in the human body so it will not damage skin.
Benefits: acts as a lubricant on the skin’s surface to give it a soft, smooth and light appearance. It also slows down water loss by forming a protective barrier and protects skin against the damage caused by free radicals. Furthermore, in terms of formulation, it helps to stabilize oil-water emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances present.
Extraction: natural ester of vegetable origin of glycerin and caprylic acid.
Benefits: acts as an emulsion stabilizer and a moisturizing agent.
Extraction: natural polysaccharide of high natural weight derived from the fermentation of carbohydrates such as glucose or corn syrup.
Benefits: it is used as a binder, emulsion stabilizer and skin conditioning agent in a wide variety of cosmetics and personal care products. 1% of xanthan gum is used for cosmetic formulations.
Obtainment: This ingredient is found naturally in the anise, an herb of the Apiaceae family native to South-West Asia and the eastern Mediterranean basin, and therefore, it is 100% plant-based.
Benefits: It is an innovative natural preservative, acts as a flavouring agent, preservative and and masks unpleasant odours.
Extraction: tocopherol or vitamin E, is naturally found in vegetable fats and oils, cereals, nuts and green and yellow leafy vegetables.
Benefits: it is used in cosmetics for its antioxidant properties and also acts as a skin conditioning agent. Reduces the appearance of stretch marks, helps improve skin tone, moisturizes and helps keep skin firm. For hair care, Holy Basil helps improve the blood circulation in the scalp which stimulates hair growth and helps to condition hair and provide shine.

The main difference lies in how they act against solar radiation and interact with the skin. Chemical filters absorb the radiation after penetrating the skin and transform it into heat. However, sunscreens with physical filters, like titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, remain on the skin's surface and reflect radiation without penetrating, offering immediate protection.
This mineral sunscreen for babies and children also incorporates Helionori® biological filters. It's an advanced technology inspired by the natural mechanisms used by marine algae to protect themselves from the sun. These actives strengthen the skin's natural defenses, help neutralize oxidative stress, and modulate interaction with sunlight without aggressively interfering with the skin's biological processes.
Mineral filters act on the skin's surface, reflecting UVA, UVB, IR-A, and blue light without penetrating or altering its natural functions, making them safe for long-term use and especially suitable for sensitive skin. Therefore, choosing a mineral sunscreen (for babies and children) means opting for a more gentle on our little ones' skin.
Moreover, this is a type of sunscreen free from endocrine disruptors. Many synthetic ingredients used in the industry eventually become associated with hormonal disruptions and are listed as 'potential endocrine disruptors' by organisations like the WHO. Therefore, choosing a sunscreen with a physical filter is a long-term health investment for your little ones.
This mineral sunscreen for babies is safe from the very first day of life. Its 100% mineral formula, without chemical filters or nanoparticles, has been specifically developed for the delicate skin of babies and children.
Because the sun is LIFE for your little one: it's not about hiding them from the sun, but helping them enjoy it safely, protecting their skin while they benefit from all the advantages of sunlight.
This mineral sunscreen for babies and children offers good water and sweat resistance thanks to its 100% mineral protection core based on zinc oxide, which adheres to the skin's surface forming a stable physical barrier. However, as with all children's sunscreens, it is recommended to reapply after swimming, intense sweating, or towel drying, to ensure the SPF 50+ protection level remains intact and your little one's skin stays properly protected.
Developing a natural sunscreen with a fluid texture is one of the biggest challenges in solar cosmetics. For years, the most used ingredient in natural sun protection has been titanium dioxide, an effective filter but one that tends to create thick, dense textures that are difficult to spread. We have used it ourselves for a long time. However, advances in formulation have allowed us to evolve towards The most innovative technologies. That's why we've replaced titanium dioxide with zinc oxide, a broad-spectrum mineral filter that, when well-formulated, provides effective protection with a much lighter and more pleasant texture. The result is a mineral sunscreen suitable for babies and children (from day one), fluid and easy to apply.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter well-known for its role in the brain, but it also exists in the skin. It is produced locally in keratinocytes and melanocytes, and it participates in processes such as:
The Blue Alga® complex increases the skin's vitamin D receptors, indirectly boosting serotonin production in the skin, thus enhancing the sun's benefits on the body.
Many conventional sunscreens contain chemical filters and nanoparticles that can negatively impact marine ecosystems. That's why this sunscreen has been formulated without nanoparticles, silicones, or other polluting ingredients, relying solely on mineral filters, biological filters, and natural and biodegradable ingredients. Effective skin protection that is also respectful of marine life and environmental balance.
Blue Alga (Patented)
Increases the skin's vitamin D receptors (VDR) by up to 14% and enhances its sensitivity to healthy sunlight. This boosts the skin's serotonin levels by up to 54%, providing well-being and balance. It strengthens the skin's three barriers: physical, immunological, and neurosensory.
Helionori®
Protects against UVA rays and safeguards cellular DNA by inhibiting UVA-induced breaks in the DNA chain of melanocytes. It achieves this thanks to MMAs: molecules used by sea algae to protect themselves from solar radiation. Thus, it helps enhance the benefits of healthy sunlight.
Bisabolol™
Shields against external aggressions and reduces inflammation, irritation, and redness caused by UV radiation, providing calm and comfort to the skin.
Aloe vera
Hydrates, soothes, and refreshes. It reduces redness, prevents erythema formation, and protects against UVB radiation. It provides comfort to the skin and a very pleasant sensation when applying the sunscreen.
