Neroli comes from the distillation of the flowers of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium). This tree provides three distinct Essential Oils, depending on the part used: Neroli (flowers), Petitgrain Bigarade (leaves) and Bitter Orange (zest). The blossoms are picked exclusively by hand, in the early hours of spring mornings, while they are still covered in dew.

In the Tonifying Lotion Neroli Bigarade, Neroli comes into play at a key moment in the routine: right after make-up removal, when the skin needs to regain its balance. It reinforces the skin barrier that hard water and cleansing may have weakened, and prepares the skin to absorb the actives in the products that follow.

Produced from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, Petitgrain Bigarade Essential Oil is obtained by steam distillation. It stands out for its fresh, herbaceous profile and a lightness that makes it ideal for water-based formulas.

In the Tonifying Lotion, Petitgrain Bigarade supports the toning action of the product. It helps the skin rebalance its pH after cleansing and keeps the skin's protective shield in place. Its natural freshness pairs with the Lotion's water texture for an instant revitalising effect, particularly pleasant first thing in the morning.

Sweet Orange yields its Essential Oil simply by cold-pressing its zest. This mechanical process, without solvents or heat, captures the full vibrancy of the fruit.

In the Tonifying Lotion Neroli Bigarade, Sweet Orange delivers an instant radiance boost. It brightens a dull, tired complexion with a single sweep of the cotton pad. Combined with Neroli and Petitgrain Bigarade, it forms a complete synergy that tones, rebalances and protects the skin in one step. Sweet Orange's fresh, fruity scent adds an energising note to this step of the routine, for a great start to the day.

Green Tea comes from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, a shrub cultivated in Asia for centuries. Unlike black tea, its leaves are not fermented: they are heated straight after harvesting, which preserves their natural compounds. Among them, polyphenols – catechins in particular – are what give the plant its reputation. These molecules help calm minor skin reactions, such as redness or discomfort.

After make-up removal, the skin can sometimes be sensitised by the rubbing of cotton pads. In the Tonifying Lotion Neroli Bigarade, Green Tea extract soothes the skin at exactly this moment in the routine.

Glycerin is a compound naturally present in plant fats. It is a colourless, thick, slightly sweet liquid. It is widely used in skincare because the skin tolerates it well. Its main asset is its ability to attract water and hold it in the skin's upper layers.

In the Tonifying Lotion Neroli Bigarade, Glycerin hydrates the skin, which stays supple and comfortable after applying the lotion. It also prepares the skin for the products that follow.
