DIAM Oléoactif® effectively combines the cork oak and coconut active ingredients to create a unique highly protective complex for sensitive and reactive skin. Tests carried out have demonstrated its double anti-inflammatory and anti-free radical efficacy. It provides a natural shield against “inflammaging”—part of the aging process characterized by chronic, low-grade inflammation.

Learn how we leveraged the power and resistance of the olive tree and the myrtle bush to create its powerful new, ultra-antioxidative biomimetic active, Myrtle-Olive Oléoactif®.

LIFT Oléoactif® concentrates key biomolecules from Spilanthes acmella and Astragalus membranaceus and so rejuvenates the skin by reorganizing the collagen network and remodeling skin’s surface. Its multi-lifting action repairs the effects of intrinsic and chronological aging of skin, acting on the visible signs of skin aging by smoothing and tightening the cutaneous layer, reducing deep wrinkles and correcting fine lines. It has an immediate, fast lifting effect which is reinforced over time. It improves skin quality even at a low dose and on mature skin. Non-irritating for skin and eyes, so ideal for daily use.

Propolis, a resin produced by bees, has been used for millennia for its cicatrizing, antiseptic, antioxidant and sanitizing properties. All these active molecules have been concentrated in the Propolis Oléoactif® in a unique form totally bioavailable, with strong anti-wrinkle properties and a protective and repairing effect on mature skin.

BLUE Oléoactif^® empowers skin cells to combat pollution and blue light’s damaging effects. It is an eco-designed, oil-based active extracted through a patented Oléo-éco-extraction process from three varieties of rice – black, brown, and red – and, for the first time in a cosmetic application, rice germ. Learn how BLUE Oléoactif^® leverages the protective and detoxifying benefits of these natural sources.
