The Glass Flower of Old Volcanic Lakes. PLANKTON GLASS FLOWER is a natural planktonic material consisting essentially of siliceous fragments of freshwater algae species (mainly composed of Fragilaria zeilleri, Gomphomena angustatum, Navicula radiosa, Cyclotella andancensis), which comes from the ancient lakes of the Auvergne volcanic region. This region is a beautiful and unique natural site in France. This plankton uses minerals and a source of silica found in acid lava coming from the bowels of the earth to build their original structure made of glass. PLANKTON GLASS FLOWER is used as a UV and blue light reflector as well as a mattifying active ingredient. It can also be used as a pollutant scavenger which entraps the impurities before they are removed from the skin after cleansing.

LUMINESCINE is the first natural active ingredient for cosmetics based on plant photoluminescence, the emission of visible light by a substance caused high (UV) energy light. Flowers are the main tool for plant reproduction and they hide secret tricks to better compete for pollinating insects. Mullein Verbascum Thapsus ) flowers are able to harvest UV radiation and transform it into new visible light to appear brighter, becoming more visible in the meadow and therefore, having a greater chance to attract insects. In creating LUMINESCINE we harvested this secret feature of flowers allowing to create highly innovative cosmetic products. LUMINESCINE is able to protect from harmful high energy UV radiation, transforming it into a source of light that radiates directly from the skin and hair making them looking more radiant, shinier, younger and healthier.
