from gem-stones to trace elements

Since ancient times, we have known that trace elements such as copper, iron and zinc are essential to the growth and health of cells. But it was not until the end of the 20th century that we understood with which enzymes they react and what chemical response they catalyse.

This fundamental discovery has made it possible to use them to full advantage. The body itself does not renew its stock of trace elements which diminish inexorably over the years. A lack of these trace elements has an extremely harmful effect on our metabolism.

It is for this reason that science has searched for a particularly rich source of trace elements: precious or semi-precious stones. Thanks to specialised research, it is now possible to extract from these stones the trace elements which are indispensable for the skin. The stones are first ground to powder and micronised. Using inorganic chemistry, a liquid agent is then extracted from this powder.

This substance which is rich in trace elements is then stabilised, filtered and sterilised at the skin’s PH level. The active ingredients are then bio-available and ready for use on the skin. The trace elements hidden in the stones can thus compensate for human shortcomings and put themselves entirely at of our skin’s service.
