In recent years, we’ve embraced natural skincare ingredients as never before. Some of the most effective beauty products feature natural, nutrient-powered ingredients, many of which have been used in skincare for centuries. 

Clarins’ new Nutri-Lumière range is designed for mature skin, which deserves to be cared for and celebrated in the most unique way. To do this, the collection harnesses the power of some of the most impactful natural ingredients around today, and the ingredients within Nutri-Lumière Day Cream are particularly impressive. Here are the top natural ingredients to help nourish and restore the appearance of vitality to mature skin.

Horse chestnut 

Horse chestnut is known for its longevity, resistance and strength, making it the ideal core ingredient for Nutri-Lumière Day Cream, which is designed for post-menopausal complexions. The cream utilises two parts of the plant: the organic flower extract and the active fruit molecule escin. Together, they help to nourish and boost the appearance of radiance for happier skin.

Harungana

Harungana is a tree that has powerful regenerating properties, and which therefore encourages reforestation by colonising barren soils in places such as Madagascar and Africa. Many have turned to harungana over the years due to its perceived therapeutic and soothing properties. The day cream contains organic harungana extract.  

Oat sugars

Oat sugars have been used within food and medicine traditionally for years, but are said to have many benefits in skincare also. For example, oat has tightening benefits and soothes sensitivity, so is an excellent ingredient in a day-cream formulation. 

Desert date 

The desert date tree (not to be confused with the date palm, which produces dates) is revered by local communities, thanks to its robust nature and ability to withstand periods of drought. The tree provides food for people and livestock, has medicinal benefits, and in skincare products is often included for cleansing and evening out complexions. Desert date extract also reduces the appearance of dark spots.

Leaf of life

The leaf of life does what it claims to do: it aids hydration, which is crucial for well-being and health. The Madagascan-derived plant has the capacity to retain water within its leaves, much like hyaluronic acid in skincare products. It can therefore withstand severe drought and still survive, and what’s more, thrive. The leaf of life used in the day cream is organic, and is aimed at helping to boost hydration within the skin.  

Furcellaria

An important component of modern day creams is the inclusion of anti-pollution protection, and this is the role of furcellaria within Clarins’ new day cream. Furcellaria originates from the North Atlantic coast, and is a form of common red seaweed. It prefers light conditions, and features a reddish-brown dense foliage. Furcellaria makes up part of Clarins’ anti-pollution complex, and aids in protection from environmental aggressors which can cause dehydration.
