Neroli takes its name from the Princess of Nerola, who scented her gloves with the oil extracted from bitter orange blossoms. To this day, this Essential Oil remains one of the most sought-after in perfumery and skincare. Every spring, the white flowers of the bitter orange tree are picked one by one, by hand, over just a few weeks.

In the Cleansing Milk Neroli Bigarade, Neroli protects the skin barrier during cleansing. Removing make-up is the most frequent step in any skincare routine: done with a product that is too harsh, it weakens the skin instead of preparing it. Neroli prevents this by reinforcing the skin's protective film at the very moment impurities are dissolved.

Petitgrain Bigarade comes from the leaves of the bitter orange tree, the same tree whose flowers give Neroli. Steam distillation of the leafy twigs produces an Essential Oil with a woody, herbaceous scent, greener than that of the flower. Its name comes from the small, unripe green fruits (the "petits grains") that were once distilled along with the leaves.

In the Cleansing Milk, Petitgrain Bigarade soothes the skin during cleansing. When cotton pads rub against the face and make-up is dissolved, the skin can react with slight tightness. Petitgrain calms these micro-discomforts and helps keep the skin barrier intact throughout the cleansing step.

Sweet Orange Essential Oil is obtained by cold mechanical pressing of orange zest. This heat-free extraction method retains all of the fruit's volatile compounds, which explains its bright, sweet scent, true to that of freshly squeezed peel.

In the Cleansing Milk Neroli Bigarade, Sweet Orange gently enhances the skin's comfort and radiance. It revives the complexion from the cleansing step onwards – a benefit particularly appreciated in the evening, when the skin is tired from the day. Its sweet, sunny scent adds a touch of pleasure that makes removing your make-up more than just cleansing.

Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) is a plant rich in polyphenols, powerful natural antioxidants. Used for thousands of years in Asia, it is recognised in skincare for its soothing and protective properties, particularly against the free radicals generated by pollution and UV rays.

In the Cleansing Milk Neroli Bigarade, Green Tea extract plays a soothing role during cleansing. While the Essential Oils strengthen the skin barrier, Green Tea calms the discomfort that removing make-up can cause in the most reactive skin.
