Douxmatique® – luxury comfort cream for dry skin

It restores comfort and natural protection to the skin, at the same time gently stimulating regeneration and reducing signs of ageing. The product’s velvety consistency enables it to be precisely and evenly spread on the skin.

Douxmatique – for whom it is created
Skin which is dry cannot properly perform its functions, particularly those of protection and regeneration, and this just reinforces unwanted symptoms such as drying out, irritability and signs of ageing. We have created Douxmatique luxury cream as the best daily care product for skin with insufficient protective and renewal functions. A rich recipe, based on an innovative combination of tucuma fruit butter, organic musk rose seed oil and large-leaved linden flower water, effectively reduces problems such as dryness of skin, greying, slackness, lack of suppleness, and wrinkles, at the same time protecting from the effects of free radicals, UV radiation and other harmful external factors.

Douxmatique – why it is so effective
We composed the formula for Douxmatique luxury cream for dry skin using suitably selected top-quality botanical ingredients, each of which is in itself a natural treasure trove of active substances. Together they combine to form a rich complex that provides the skin with everything it needs, in the most effective, natural proportions. The innovative combination of tucuma fruit butter and musk rose seed oil restores the skin’s protective functions, while at the same time effectively
revitalizing it.

Thanks to the natural plant ingredients, the cream acts “intelligently”, providing optimum protection and care for the skin, while also stimulating natural regeneration processes. At the same time it has a soothing effect on the skin, without causing irritation.

Douxmatique – why it is skin friendly
• Our desire and goal while working on the formula of Douxmatique was first of all to use natural ingredients.
• The rich complex of active ingredients includes plant-derived substances which are gentle on the skin.
• Instead of ordinary water, the recipe contains large-leaved linden flower water.
• The cream gets its soothing fragrance purely from its natural active ingredients, primarily Brazilian rosewood essential oil, large-leaved linden flower water and tucuma fruit butter.
• Another exclusive feature of Douxmatique is the use of innovative natural emulsifiers and stabilisers that are kind to the skin.

The key active ingredients
Tucuma (Astrocaryum tucuma) fruit butter
A substance with a soothing, butter-caramel aroma, cold pressed from the edible seeds of the fruits of the Brazilian palm Astrocaryum tucuma, which grows in the forests of the Amazon. Tucuma butter is extremely rich in natural provitamin A. Thanks to its normalizing effect on the thickness and structure of the corneal layer of the epidermis, it reinforces its protective function and reduces moisture loss through the epidermis. It has a beneficial effect on the connective tissue of the dermis, making the skin more supple and resilient, and reducing the number of wrinkles.Tucuma butter also has a soothing effect (reducing redness), smoothes and softens, and at the same time stimulates regeneration processes in dry and damaged skin.

Organic wild musk rose (Rosa moschata) seed oil
This contains valuable retinoic acid alongside other fatty acids, which combine to form an external barrier that protects the skin from moisture loss. Retinoic acid, a form of vitamin A, also has the exceptional quality that it causes an increase in the content of properly formed collagen in the dermis. The trans-retinoic acid contained in musk rose seed oil is the most active form of vitamin A. In contrast to synthetic tretinoin, it can be used completely safely, as it has no side effects in the form of skin irritation or teratogenic action.
Musk rose seed oil is also a rich natural source of vitamin C, with strong anti-radical and anti-ageing action. It helps to make the skin more supple, supports the renewal of the epidermis, and provides essential nutrients.

Large-leaved linden (Tilia platyphyllos) flower water
Linden hydrolate contains as many as 20 types of flavonoids, valued as effective antioxidants, as well as a wealth of other natural active ingredients, which soften, purify, protect and care for sensitive skin. It carries the delicate fragrance of flowering linden trees.
 
Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora) essential oil
Obtained from the wood of the Brazilian rosewood (also called the Brazilian palisander), with a warm, flowery fragrance resembling peony, it is highly valued in perfumery, and in aromatherapy use is made of its ability to reduce feelings of depression, dejection and apathy. In cosmetics it is valued chiefly for its skin-rejuvenating properties. In view of its multifaceted actions, including as an antiseptic and in stimulating and restoring the natural balance of the skin, it is used in products for problem skin, including dull, dry and sensitive skin.

Natural emulsifier
The intricate combination of fatty acids, which chemically resembles the composition of the external lipid layer of the epidermis, not only avoids irritating the skin, but actually cares for the natural protective barrier of the epidermis, while at the same time helping valuable active substances to penetrate it.
 
Results
Thanks to the multifaceted action of natural active ingredients, Douxmatique luxury cream for dry skin restores comfort to dry skin, as well as slack and dull skin. The complexion regains its softness, freshness and younger appearance, and at the same time is superbly protected.
