Precious bark...

Maritime pine is a conifer recognised by its bark, which splits and turns red as the tree grows. It is from this bark that oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are extracted, components recognised for their exceptional anti-free radical and antioxidant benefits.

COSMETIC EFFECTIVENESS

For firmer, smoother, more radiant skin!

In cosmetics, maritime pine’s OPCs help preserve the integrity of collagen fibres and elastin against photoageing. With its soothing and firming properties and its positive benefits on microcirculation, it also helps make the skin firmer, smoother, and more radiant.
