Upcycled ingredients in cosmetics are raw materials that have been recycled from waste or by-products from different industries to give them a second life in the formulation of beauty products. These upcycled ingredients can be vegetable oils, citrus fruits, plant extracts, essential oils, vegetable butters, clays, colorants, pigments, vitamins, etc..
For example, upcycled citrus fruits from the food industry can be used in cosmetics for their purifying and brightening properties. Their use reduces food waste while offering benefits for the skin. At Bernard Cassière we have chosen to use citrus peels!!
These peels are perfect for your skin. They are an integral part of our brand new Blood Orange Detox Complex. In our products we use the peels of mandarins, oranges and bitter oranges, which are used by the industry to make your favourite fruit juices. And that's good, because it is precisely in these fruit peels that the majority of nutrients and minerals of interest to our skin are found!
Upcycled citrus fruits are rich in natural bioactive compounds such as humectants and bio-flavonoids..
- Humectants are substances that have the ability to attract and retain water in the skin, thus maintaining optimal hydration..
- Bio-flavonoids are natural antioxidants that have many benefits for the skin. They protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules produced by skin cells when exposed to environmental factors such as UV light, pollution and smoking. Bio-flavonoids can also help reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier, which helps to maintain healthy, glowing skin.
