MEET IMMORTELLE SUPER EXTRACT, OUR NATURAL ALTERNATIVE TO RETINOL
What is a natural alternative to Retinol?
Over the past 30 years, Retinol has become the industry's gold standard ingredient thanks to its efficacy and anti-ageing benefits. However, Retinol has one major drawback - it can be highly sensitising and irritating on the skin, leaving many people unable to use it.
The industry has been searching for a natural and gentler alternative to Retinol, but without compromising on efficacy. The L'OCCITANE labs have discovered such an alternative and have tested it side by side with Retinol. Just like Retinol, at the dermis level, the Immortelle Super Extract stimulates collagen synthesis, whilst at the dermis level it boosts cell proliferation, resulting in skin renewal and a thicker epidermis.
Retinol is a well-known, effective ingredient, but it is also associated with irritating effects. This is why we offer an alternative to retinol that is gentle on the skin. We conducted a clinical test to compare the effectiveness of our Immortelle Super Extract with that of Retinol. After one month of use, the reduction in wrinkles was the same with both ingredients. However, the Super Extract proved to be gentler on the skin and better tolerated than Retinol.

The Art of Extraction of Immortelle
STEP 1
100% Organic & Harvested in Corsica, in the South of France.
STEP 2
Immortelle Essential Oil and Immortelle Floral Water are extracted through a 2-hour steam distillation, using ancestral techniques, on the day of harvest.
STEP 3
The distilled plants are then dried and still have a lot to give.
STEP 4
With our eco-extraction processes free from synthetic solvents, we can harness new extracts from the already used plant.
STEP 5
The right pressure and temperature conditions have to be met for either a CO2 supercritical extraction or sub-critical water extraction...
STEP 6
To unlock the power of the Immortelle Super Extract on one hand, and the Immortelle Super Aqueous Extract on the other hand.
