This bioactive 3-in-1 Lubricant hydrates, soothes and restores while delivering a silky, sensorial glide that primes both body and mind for intimacy.

Ivapur Aknebiome Serum, Ivatherm
Ivapur Aknebiome Serum targets acne while preserving the skin’s microbiome balance, protecting beneficial bacteria without harming the saprophytic flora. It can be used alongside medical treatments or after, to maintain results and prevent relapses. Unlike traditional therapies that often disrupt the microbiome, the serum selectively inhibits the wild-type IA1 phylotypes of C. acnes, the bacterium linked to acne. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly, strengthens the skin barrier, prevents dehydration, and regulates sebum production. The result is a smooth, even and radiant complexion with a refined glass skin effect.
Finished Prestige Formula: Anti-aging
ABC De In+ense Cream, Labrains SIA
The ABC de In+ense Cream is the first 100% biodegradable lamellar cream inspired by ketogenic skin fasting. Powered by a smart vitamin blend (B3, B5, B12 and C) and photostable bakuchiol, it restores intercellular communication, barrier integrity and lasting luminosity — without fragrance allergens or traditional preservatives. ABC de In+ense embodies clean biotechnology for a circular future: a fully biodegradable, microbiome-friendly cream formulated without traditional preservatives or irritants, using upcycled plant lipids, biotech vitamins and AI-discovered natural antimicrobials. Every molecule works in harmony with skin biology and the planet, proving that sustainability and high performance can coexist in one lamellar-structured, biomimetic formulation.
Longeva, Ayuna
Ayuna's Longeva is a pro-longevity ampoule cure born from the philosophy of epidermal fasting. By quieting overstimulation, it activates cellular pathways of resilience — autophagy, oxidative-stress control and microbiota balance — and translates them into fresh, single-dose treatments. Botanical biotechnology powers the formula: grape stem cells with resveratrol-rich exosomes, turmeric and centella peptides, pomegranate and green carrot stem-cell matrices, and symbiotic ferments. The result is skin that looks luminous, refined and rested. Longeva embodies a minimalist, conscious ritual — crafted with precision, elevated by purity and entirely free from ingredients of concern.
Longitivity Regenerative, Protecting Safe Night Serum Crème, Innovantase R&D Services LLP
This novel formulation for skin longevity is designed to reverse the signs of aging and build skin's resilience. Hydroxypinacolone retinoate and bakuchiol boost collagen renewal and smooth fine lines, while a judiciously designed humectant system (glycerin, panthenol, betaine and mixed molecular weight sodium hyaluronate) deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier. Antioxidant-rich squalane, vetiver oil and chamomile protect against oxidative stress, while shea butter and ceramide-mimicking olivates restore elasticity, resulting in a significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkle depth, improved barrier firmness, and radiant and youthful skin. The product's performance was demonstrated in an eight-week clinical trial with best- in-class protocols.
Nectar – Neuroglow, Ayuna
Nectar is a lightweight, silky emulsion that melts into the skin to unlock its neuroglow, emulating the beneficial effects of sunlight and sensory stimulation. This unique serum-cream hybrid uses cell cultures from Lithops pseudotruncatella, known as the “living stone,” which is rich in exosomes, thus optimizing the skin’s microenvironment and enhancing light absorption, promoting vitamin D synthesis. Its 70% organic composition combines hyaluronic acid, mimicking biosaccharides and potent antioxidants such as astaxanthin, creating a sensorial ritual that revitalizes the skin and amplifies the emotional impact through an aromachological symphony of essential oils that uplift the mood.

NAMA Comforting Shampoo for Dry & Sensitive Skin, Nama Cosmetics
In this novel shampoo, pharmaceutical expertise meets the next evolution of scalp care: skinification through adaptation. The Nama Comforting Shampoo for Dry & Sensitive Skin is a clinically backed innovation that selectively removes only excess sebum, preserving the scalp’s natural lipid balance without over-cleansing.

Nectar Lip & Eye, Ayuna
Revitalizing the most delicate areas of the face, Nectar Lip & Eye is a precise, high-performance, extraordinarily sensorial emulsion supporting skin in motion with a deeply restorative bifocal ritual. Inspired by the unique anatomy of the lip vermilion and skin’s sensory mechanisms, this hybrid treatment hydrates, plumps and soothes with clinical precision. Rich in ceramides, jojoba esters, signaling peptides and Centella asiatica exosomes, the formula stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis and melts into the skin without occlusion, protecting it like a flexible, living, functional veil. Orange blossom crafted from aromatic isolates offers well-being without interfering with taste or triggering irritation.
