Origin
Mineral

Symbol of creativity and sacred stone in ancient Egypt, Malachite was worn by pregnant women to protect their pregnancy. The shamans attributed it detoxifying, tissue-healing, and energy-harmonizing benefits. The technique was developed by Native Americans who heated volcanic rocks and placed them on the body to transfer their energy to the various organs. These elements offer a range of cell-protecting properties to assist our skin in its fight against intrinsic or environmental stress.

Malachite extract is a mineral extract from Malachite that optimizes the cutaneous cell natural antioxidant defense system. It is known under the trade name Mala'Kîte™.

Malachite extract boosts glutathione reductase activity, the enzyme of glutathione regeneration, which is reduced during Hydrogen Peroxide elimination. Produced by the liver, glutathione is the organism's main antioxidant; thanks to its ubiquity, it can stop scavenger damage in all tissues.

A liquid stone extract is a bioavailable oligo-element complex that contains essential copper, which is naturally blue. It protects skin and hair with potent antioxidant and detoxifying effects.

Malachite extract also directly affects free radicals. Tested in vitro, it traps superoxide radicals, with a double efficacy for the cells. Moreover, with this mineral antioxidant, the skin develops its protective system to fight against free radicals: enzymes.
