WHAT IS DULL SKIN?
It is characterised by an uneven complexion, often greyish-looking skin and an irregular skin texture. Several factors can cause the epidermis to malfunction.
STRESS
When we are stressed, the nervous system releases chemicals and hormones, including cortisol, which then produces a greater amount of free radicals. The epidermis can no longer defend itself through its natural production of antioxidants. The ageing of skin cells begins, and the complexion becomes dull.
AN UNBALANCED DIET
An overly rich diet, processed foods, alcohol and lack of hydration are all factors associated with a dull complexion. The kidneys and intestines become overloaded and can no longer eliminate toxins properly. As a result, the skin suffocates, loses its freshness and lacks radiance.
LACK OF SLEEP
Repeated poor nights’ sleep accelerate the skin’s ageing process because the epidermis does not produce enough collagen and elastin.
HORMONAL IMBALANCE
Hormones play an essential role in our skin’s well-being. Oestrogen ensures a rosy complexion by stimulating the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. When hormones are imbalanced in the body, cell renewal is no longer ensured, and oestrogen can no longer help create a rosy complexion by stimulating the production of colla - gen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
UV RAYS
Although the sun guarantees a “healthy glow,” too much exposure to UV rays damages the skin.
THE RESULT?
The skin is dehydrated, regenerates more slowly, accumulates toxins and looks dull.
DULL, LACKLUSTRE SKIN FINALLY HAS ITS ORGANIC SOLUTION WITH PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS TO RESTORE A FRESH, RADIANT COMPLEXION
The new plant extract derived from woad, Isatox, is particularly beneficial for the skin. It helps support the respiratory cycle in the mitochondrial membrane and the production of energy-rich ATP molecules. These molecules are essential to the proper functioning of cells: in a way, they are the skin’s natural fuel, helping it renew itself better and faster. In practical terms? The complexion is more radiant and the skin tone more luminous

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