Why does your skin feel tight after a shower - and what to do about it?

Depending on where you shower, you may have noticed that your skin can be more or less dry when you leave. The reason: the hardness of the water. The more ions (calcium and magnesium) the water contains, the harder and more calcareous it is. And for those who particularly like very hot showers ❌ bad news: the hotter the water, the more easily it carries limescale!

And this does have a direct impact on your skin 👉 tightness caused by the little crystals that remain on the surface of your skin, tingling, dryness. Depending on your sensitivity, it can also cause irritation, redness, flaking and sometimes even red patches. Not great, this cocktail!"🍹

To limit these effects, you can install a water softener or a filter.

And on the cosmetic side, an adapted care allows to restore the hydrolipidic film of the epidermis 👉 I'M NOT A MERMAID: a cocktail of aloe vera, caprier, green algae and vegetable oil that will allow to soothe, to promote cell renewal while bringing hydration and protection to the skin.

It is time to give the power back to those who use cosmetics: you!

So we did that! For you, we have created the cosmetic co-creation model: a unique concept that revolutionises the historical model of cosmetics that you already know. The concept: you tell us what you need, what is missing in current products. Then we co-create with you, and the whole community, this product that will finally meet your needs.

It's about time!

🌱 CLEAN BEAUTY 🌱

Just because we are breaking the rules doesn't mean we can't be gentle (for your skin) 💛 We only have clean formulas and that's what matters.

We start from your needs and find the best possible formula and choose the right active natural ingredients: there are only a few but they are all rigorously selected. The formula is clean, without harmful or controversial ingredients and with a minimum of 95% natural ingredients.

💛 BLOOM 💛

Beyond cosmetics, our mission is to share the values that mean a lot to us: accepting ourselves as we are, learning to love ourselves, saying no to beauty standards and other preconceived ideas, shed light on taboo subjects, defending the freedoms of everyone…

And we want to do it with you, we want to talk with you, to exchange with you, to understand you and give you some good mood in your daily life.
