MULTIFUNCTIONAL BEAUTIFYING CREAMS: NUDE BEAUTY BALM Active care & protection, delicate make-up
In the contemporary, rushing, technologically advanced and dynamically changing world, we often search for simple and effective solutions which will make everyday activities and rituals easier and more pleasant. We also search for solutions which will let us effectively and, at the same time, naturally and gently care for the skin. In order to meet these expectations, Organique developed the recipes of beauty balms whose formula combines the action of a few cosmetic products. Nude Beauty Balms are multifunctional cosmetics that care for the skin, beautify, protect, and provide it with a fresh and radiant look. They contain specially selected active ingredients, matched
to the given skin type. It’s a perfect alternative to the traditional cream and foundation. Not only does it have a beneficial influence on the skin, but also allows you to get the effect of a perfect, fresh look. Their unquestionable advantage is the protection of the skin against excessive UV radiation which may lead to discolorations and accelerated skin ageing. In order to provide the most effective protection against UVA and UVB radiation, the beautifying Nude Beauty Balms contain a combination of chemical filters, which absorb solar energy, and physical filters, which act as mirrors and reflect UV radiation. SPF 15 blocks ca. 93% of solar radiation.
The cosmetics have the “INSPIRED BY NATURE” sign of Organique. INSPIRED BY NATURE – the cosmetics are free of: of parabens, PEGs, SLS, paraffin, Vaseline, silicones, formaldehyde donors and ethanolamines.
Out of concern for the naturalness of our products, we keep perfecting their compositions. We are trying to make them healthy, skin-friendly and close to the nature. W deprive our cosmetics of aggressive preservative, washing
and foaming agents which may cause irritation, dryness and even allergies. Products marked with the “Inspired by nature” sign are mild, and based on natural oils and extracts.

Due to its health qualities and properties, the flower of hibiscus is mainly used for infusions with warming, cleansing and immunity boosting properties. It is also valued as an ingredient
of medicines and natural cosmetics. It contains considerable amounts of vitamin C, calcium, organic acids, anthocyanins, polyphenols, mineral salts and carotenes. Hibiscus extract used in cosmetic products strengthens capillary walls, smooths, enhances elasticity reduces free radicals, and prevents the ageing processes.
MELISSA EXTRACT (MELISSA OFFICINALIS EXTRACT) Its medicinal properties were already described in the work of the apprentice of Aristotle 3,000 BC. In the 10th century, Melissa reached Spain, and then the whole of Europe. It is currently cultivated and appreciated all over the world. Melissa is rich in essential oils, polyphenols, flavonoids and tannins. It’s a medicinal plant known mostly for its calming,
relaxing and soothing properties. In the cosmetic industry, it is most often used in the care of oily skin – due to its antibacterial and antiseborrhoeic properties. When used in cosmetics, it shows toning, cleansing, anti-inflammatory, regenerating effects, and regulates sebum secretion.
COCONUT OIL (COCOS NUCIFERA OIL) Coconut is the fruit of a coconut palm which grows mainly in Asia and Polynesia. It belongs to the class of fruit drupe and might weigh even 2.5 kg. In Asia, coconut is used as a medicine for many illnesses, and the coconut palm is called the “tree of life�. The coconut flesh can be consumed raw, it is often grated (desiccated coconut); the milk of coconut is also very popular. Coconut oil is the most widely used one in food, chemical, pharmaceutical and, especially, cosmetic industry. The beneficial properties of coconut oil were not discovered until 1930s. The inhabitants of islands
along the Pacific coast were healthy, slim, and did not know many diseases, especially cardiovascular ones. The oil contains a mix of valuable fatty acids, B vitamins, vitamins C and E, as well as folic acid, phosphorus, zinc, and iron. Due to its rich composition, it is a priceless eco cosmetic for the care of face, body, hands, nails, and hair, recommended also for the sensitive, irritation-prone skin. The oil perfectly hydrates, regenerates, soothes, prevents skin chapping, softens and inhibits the ageing processes.
SHEA BUTTER (BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII [SHEA] BUTTER) The KARITE (“life� in French) butter is a cold pressed (solid) plant oil obtained from seeds of the Butyrospermum Parkii butter tree, which are picked by hand. The tree grows in Africa, from Senegal to Ethiopia, can reach up to 15 meters, fruits once a year and can live up to 300 years. Shea butter has been used by the indigenous people as an edible fat, cosmetic and medicine for ages. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins: A, E, F,
phytosterols and cinnamic acid which constitutes a natural UV filter. Due to its composition, which resembles the lipid layer of epidermis, it is very well tolerated by oily skin, despite its thick and nourishing consistency. The butter regenerates, soothes irritation, prevents flaking and evaporation of water from the epidermis. It constitutes a natural protective barrier against the external factors.
JOJOBA OIL (SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS SEED OIL) Jojoba oil is obtained from nuts of the Simmonodissa chinensis tree (shrub) and, despite its name, does not come from China. In fact, it comes from North America. Simmonodissa chinensis is currently cultivated for industrial purposes in Africa and South America. Considering its chemical composition, it is a wax that becomes solid below 8°C. It is very resistant to high temperatures, does not go rancid and is very durable. Jojoba oil contains high amounts
of vitamins A, E and F, amino acids, unsaturated waxes and fatty acids. Its composition closely resembles intercellular cement, and helps to modify the natural sebum secretion, in case of both oily and dry skin. It prevents epidermis dryness, regulates the process of cornification, accelerates regeneration, and helps to maintain a skin-friendly pH.
SWEET ALMOND OIL (PRUNUS AMYGDALUS [SWEET ALMOND] OIL) A cold pressed oil from seeds of the almond tree.

Created for a wide range of effects in hydrating, anti-ageing and softening cosmetic products. Thanks to their active substances (lipids, sugars, proteins, vitamins A, E, C, B1, B2 B6, PP), kiwi, papaya, raspberry and apple are responsible
for anti-ageing and hydrating properties. They are also rich in enzymes which regulate the process of epidermis exfoliation. Peach, cucumber and strawberry soften skin thanks to the content of mineral salts, sugars and flavonoids.
HYDROAVENA (ORIZA SATIVIA HULL POWDER) Oat is a relatively new cultivated plant, it appeared a few thousand years later than other cereals. Initially regarded as a weed, over time, it became more and more appreciated, and – finally – one of major cereals. Besides healing and nourishing, highly appreciated were also its cosmetic properties.
Oat grain contains high amounts of polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins and protein. Micronized oat oligopeptides bind moisture in stratum corneum, firm and smooth, soothe skin dryness and create a delicate protective film.

It is not preserved, is very well tolerated by skin, does not cause any irritation.
It is characterized by a small particle, which is why it easily penetrates into skin and hair structures. Panthenol stimulates cell divisions and, thus, accelerates the process of healing and regeneration of micro damage. It soothes irritation and redness, retains water in the epidermis, hydrates and softens.
ALLANToIN (ALLANToIN) An organic substance, derivative of urea, naturally present in the root of comfrey, legumes, cereal sprouts. Allantoin of synthetic origin is used in pharmacology and cosmetology. Allantoin shows great compatibility with skin, therefore, it has protective effects and does not cause irritation.

VITAMIN E (TOCOPHERYL ACETATE) Called the “vitamin of youth�, one of the most effective antioxidants. It inhibits skin ageing processes. It enhances skin resistance (also to UV radiation) and strengthens its lipid layer, which makes skin more resilient
to the adverse external factors. It soothes and prevents irritation. When used systematically, it stimulates regenerative processes in the skin, improves its look and condition.
GLYCERIN (GLYCERIN) Glycerin of the highest pharmaceutical quality, obtained from vegetable fat. It is characterized by a very small particle and strong hygroscopic properties which enable it to penetrate to the intercellular spaces of deeper epidermis layers and bind water. It provides a proper and long-lasting
hydration, sealing of the skin lipid barrier (protection against water loss), improvement of elasticity and smoothing. Glycerin also creates a gentle film on the skin surface, which protects it against the adverse external factors.
