The new superhero products from L’Occitane

Choosing skincare is a lot like shopping for jeans. The right selection makes you look and feel great, and gives you a boost of confidence. However, with a dizzying array of products on the shelves sometimes the skincare isle can look a little overwhelming. Luckily for us, every once in a while a skin care brand makes it easier when they discover the next big breakthrough in skincare. That just happens to be French skin care brand , and their new superhero ingredient – algae!

Following ten years of research, L’Occitane has harnessed two natural ingredients with the most astonishing anti-ageing properties. The first is Jania Rubens, a self-regenerating algae native to Corsica. L’Occitane, in cooperation with marine lab STARESCO, discovered how to cultivate the algae without disturbing its purity or structure. The rare and 100% natural extract from the algae specifically acts on facial contours and volumes (translate: plumps wrinkles and firms saggy chin jowls).
The Jania Rubens is paired with Immortelle Millésimée, a specially cultivated crop of Corsican Immortelle that has age-defying powers. 

To make this range, the French brand undertook a large study with over 200 women worldwide, the results of which showed that women want much more than just clinically proven ‘anti-ageing’ results. They wanted to know everything about the product and the quality and origin of the ingredients. From this, the Divine Harmony range was born.

Both products in the range (serum and cream) go on silky smooth and bear a delightfully light scent. Their active ingredients work fast, and visible changes in the skin appear almost immediately. 


Each bottle contains more than 5,000 micro-drops of Immortelle Mellisemee, suspended in a water-based gel and enriched with the restorative powers of Jania Rubens. We’re talking potent and active ingredients that plump, lift, and firm. Almost immediately.
 

This light and rich cream makes the face radiate. Lightly scented, it melts into the skin, absorbing quickly with no greasy feeling. Skin instantly feels soft, hydrated, and glowing.
This cream works in two stages. First, the Jania Rubens extract sinks into the skin, giving a feeling of comfort and hydration. Then the formula evolves. The cream transforms into a soft oil that allows the lipophilic active ingredients to penetrate the skin, particularly the Immortelle Millésimée and myrtle essential oils, as well as camelina, evening primrose and borage oils. It can be used morning and night.
