Characteristics

97% Natural Origin Ingredients: Gymnema sylvestre extract rich in Gymnemic acids, Dihydromyricetin, Papaya and Pineapple extracts rich in enzymes, Hamamelis extract, Glycerin, Calendula extract and Cucumber extract.

Gymnema sylvestre extract: A natural extract of the Indian Ayurvedic plant Gymnema sylvestre rich in triterpenoid saponins belonging to the oleanane class, also known as Gymnemic acids. It is clinically proven to inhibit cell division in the hair follicle for slower growth and weakened (finer) hair.
Gymnema sylvestre extract prolongs and enhances the effects of hair removal sessions by combining two simultaneous effects: Reduces hair vitality and visibly slows down hair growth, resulting in increased ease of depilation/epilation, the frequency of which may consequently be reduced. This effect of prolonged softness makes it especially suitable for sensitive skin, which does not tolerate repeated hair removal procedures. The mechanism of action is based on the fact that Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (CAMP) and phosphodiesterase are involved in the intracellular pathways of hair growth. Gymnemic acid inhibits phosphodiesterase activity. This inhibition leads to an increase of the level of cAMP that results in hair-growth reduction.

Dihydromyricetin: A naturally derived active isolated from the leaves and flowers of Myrica cerifera tree. It is clinically proven to delay and weaken (finer) undesired face/body hair, thus reducing the need for shaving/epilation sessions. Acts by selectively inhibiting the tyrosinase-kinase activity of the IGF-1 receptor and thus prevents the action of stimuli that normally promote anagen follicular growth. Dihydromyricetin therefore reduces the Anagen / Telogen phase ratio, the number of hairs and the proportion of thick hairs (less and thinner hair).

Papaya (Carica papaya) and Pineapple (Ananas sativus) extracts: Papaya extract, abundant in Papain enzyme, and pineapple extract, rich in Bromelain enzyme, possess enzymatic properties known to inhibit hair growth. These proteolytic enzymes weaken hair follicles, slowing down hair growth over time. Regular application helps to reduce unwanted hair growth, offering a natural solution for smoother skin.

Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) extract: A natural astringent, can help soothe skin post-epilation, reducing inflammation and redness. Its astringent properties, due its high tannin content, tighten pores, helping prevent hair from becoming trapped beneath the skin, thus minimizing ingrown hairs.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis) and Cucumber extracts (Cucumis sativus): Soothe skin post-epilation due to their known moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. Their natural compounds, such as cucurbitacin and flavonoids, alleviate redness and irritation, promoting skin recovery and comfort after hair removal, while hydrating and refreshing.
