WHAT IS DULL SKIN?
It is characterized by an uneven skin tone, an often grayish epidermis, and an irregular skin texture. Several factors can cause this disruption in the proper functioning of the epidermis.
STRESS
In times of stress, the nervous system releases chemicals and hormones, including cortisol, which then produces a higher dose of free radicals. The skin is then unable to defend itself with its natural production of antioxidants. Skin cell aging is triggered, and the complexion becomes dull.
AN UNBALANCED DIET
A diet too rich in processed foods, alcohol, and dehydration are all factors that contribute to a dull complexion. The kidneys and intestines become overloaded and can no longer properly eliminate toxins. As a result, the skin feels suffocated, loses its freshness, and lacks radiance.
LACK OF SLEEP
By having a series of bad nights, the skin's aging process accelerates because the epidermis does not produce enough collagen and elastin.
HORMONAL IMBODIMENT
Hormones play a vital role in the health of our skin. Estrogen ensures a rosy complexion by stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. When hormones are imbalanced in the body, cell renewal is disrupted, and estrogen no longer provides a rosy complexion by stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
UV
Even though the sun guarantees a "healthy glow", too much exposure to UV rays damages the skin.
THE RESULT?
The skin is dehydrated, it regenerates less quickly, accumulates toxins and looks dull.
Dull, lackluster skin finally has its organic solution with proven effectiveness to restore a fresh and luminous complexion.
"The new plant extract derived from woad, Isatox, is particularly beneficial for the skin. It participates in the respiratory cycle within the mitochondrial membrane and in the creation of energy-producing ATP molecules. These molecules are essential for proper cell function: in a way, they are the skin's natural fuel, allowing it to renew itself more effectively and quickly. In practical terms? The complexion is brighter, the skin tone more radiant."

OXYGENATE AND DETOXIFY: 2 ACTIONS FOR A RADIANT COMPLEXION
Graine de Pastel has reformulated its antioxidant range and enriched it with a patented active ingredient, Isatox. Three years of research were required to create this new complex and combine it with pastel oil, the brand's flagship ingredient.
AT THE HEART OF THE FORMULA, ISATOX: A NEW PATENTED COMPLEX WITH DETOXIFYING PROPERTIES
To amplify the effects of pastel oil tenfold, Graine de Pastel has developed an even more powerful new active ingredient: the Isatox complex. This new patented active ingredient is primarily composed of pastel polyphenols, whose effectiveness is proven: its action improves the reduction of free radicals by 93.6%. This limitation of free radical production through antioxidants helps protect small cellular organelles called mitochondria, the true powerhouses of our cells!
Isatox acts on aconitase, an enzyme involved in mitochondrial cellular respiration, and reduces its expression by 49% within the first week. This means that mitochondria are protected from oxidative stress, and cells are detoxified.
DETOXIFIED SKIN
This new formula oxygenates the skin and provides lasting protection against signs of fatigue. It also stimulates the skin's energy functions while maintaining its role as a protective barrier. Detoxified, the skin regenerates: it appears revitalized from within. Day after day, skin quality visibly improves: skin texture becomes more even, and the complexion appears fresher and more radiant.
Isatox acts at the heart of the cells, stimulates their energy function and protects the skin while acting as a true shield against external aggressions.
Visible results from the first week:
