The virtues of antioxidants
You are surely familiar with the trick of adding a few drops of lemon to a fruit salad or on avocado to prevent them from turning brown, aren't you?
This is the most protective action against the oxidation process.
Applying vitamin C to fruit immediately after cutting it is the most visual way to understand the role of antioxidants.
In fact, antioxidants are molecules that act as a protective shield for our skin cells against free radicals and oxidative stress.
It is these daily aggressions that are responsible for inflammation and imbalances on the surface of the skin, which consequently cause premature skin aging, dark spots, and more.
We are all affected by these phenomena, so you can understand the importance of applying these life-saving active ingredients to our skin to keep it healthy and delay the signs of aging.

Here they are in the order of application for an effective ritual:
1/ The intense antioxidant cleansing oil
This cleansing oil is the perfect product to effectively remove makeup from the face and rid it of lipophilic impurities.
Let me take you behind the scenes of its production: originally, when the product is freshly made, its color is light yellow; it is the annatto seeds macerating in macadamia oil that give it this intense orange color over time! Annatto seeds are packed with beta-carotene, a well-known antioxidant molecule, making them precious allies for protecting the skin daily.
Vitamin C from lemon rounds out this formula for the first phase of an optimal protective ritual.
This mist is a protective barrier against external aggressions, particularly pollution.
The key active ingredient in this formula is Camellia. Its petals are known for their protective and anti-inflammatory virtues; they also possess moisturizing and plumping properties, which provide an immediate invigorating effect to the skin's surface.
A step to recommend at any time of the day, highly addictive!
3/ The multivitamin wake-up cream
This day cream par excellence is a true cocktail of vitamins for our skin!
Active ingredients like Rooibos, coconut, and buriti work in synergy to protect the skin from external aggressions and provide a real boost for dull complexions.

This has been one of our must-have oil serums in our range since the creation of La Canopée.
This uniquely green-colored serum is a precious concentrate of protective, well-known antioxidant active ingredients like green tea, rosemary, and Vitamin E.
The vegetable oil that makes up this serum is macadamia oil, which is rich in essential lipids (palmitoleic acid) that protect cells from oxidation.
This oil serum is THE antioxidant gem in our range.
