Qu’est-ce que la baie d’argousier ?

Sea buckthorn is a small fruit that is still little known in France, but which is revolutionizing the world of cosmetics. In fact, it's a veritable concentrate of highly effective active ingredients for preserving skin health and youthfulness: vitamins C, A and E, antioxidants, amino acids, trace elements, beta-carotene, essential fatty acids, vitamin F...

The benefits of sea buckthorn-based products (creams, oils and skin care waters) are numerous:

• They have anti-aging properties and help protect the epidermis from damage caused by free radicals.
• They help keep skin smooth and stimulate skin cell regeneration.
• Theydeeply moisturize the skin.
• They have protective and restorative properties and help combat skin dryness.
• They help fight spots and imperfections and have a "healthy glow effect".

The berries used in our products are organically grown. They are grown in Moldavia, a country on Europe's doorstep, and are certified by the German organization CERES Gmbh. Several ingredients are added afterwards to enhance stability and shelf life, but above all, no controversial substances. So you can be sure that only natural, sourced and ecologically responsible ingredients are used on your skin.

Qu’est-ce que l’eau végétale d’argousier ?

Like oil,sea buckthorn vegetable water is one of the components used in the cosmetics offered by La Maison de l'Argousier. It is extracted from the berries by enzymation, a process that optimally preserves the properties of the active ingredients. This process is particularly respectful, unlike others which use heat or solvents which tend to reduce the effectiveness of the ingredients.

It should also be noted that all fruits and berries found in nature are composed of a hydrophilic (watery) and lipophilic (oily) part, although the proportions vary from one fruit to another. In the case of sea buckthorn berries, the hydrophilic part accounts for 95-98%. This combination of two phases optimizes the benefits of each active ingredient by creating synergies, thus creating the Totum.

The Totum represents all the active ingredients in the berry, and its therapeutic effect is greater than that of any one of them taken separately, as they act in interaction. To obtain La Maison de l'Argousier products, we begin by extracting the water and oil from the berries, then use them to reconstitute the berry's plant totum, which has the advantage of having a fatty acid composition very similar to that of our skin. This totum serves as the basis for all our products, considerably enhancing their efficacy.

By using La Maison de l'Argousier products, you can be sure of giving your skin the very best, and making the most of the moisturizing, regenerating, protective, repairing and anti-aging properties of the little berry. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about our products or their use. We'll be delighted to help.
