Decode your beauty formula
and embrace your personal needs

The Decoder by CODAGE is a series of information sheets that allow you to better diagnose your needs, understand your skin’s metabolism and, above all, get to know every active ingredient in the collection.

An intelligent approach to active cosmetics that allows you to truly understand your skin and take good care of it, effectively and simply…
Nutri-Elements are the foundation of the CODAGE visual identity, and are «cocktail» of an average of 3 active ingredients with a synergistic action.
Most Nutri-Elements are available in 3 concentrations (3-max, 2-med, 1-min) to ensure a perfectly calibrated formula.

Given specific skin needs, nutri-elements are dosed and assembled to form a unique «codage» and to reveal the product formula.
CODAGE continually updates the composition of its Nutri-Elements based on research to offer the best in innovative active cosmetics.
The classification of the Nutri-Elements
around the 4 skin needs' categories

A
Skin Confort a

BALANCE SKIN TYPE TO PROVIDE A REAL CONFORT FEELING

B

Po
Anti-pollution

[Po^a] + [Po^b]

Presentation

Increases skin's natural protection against pollutants by preventing their adhesion and by facilitating their elimination.
Mechanisms of action
➔ Limitating the adhesion of pollutants on the skin of the following types: atmospheric (carbon particles and heavy metals), free radicals generated by UV exposure, and domestic (chemical pollutants). By preventing their adhesion, penetration is limited.

➔ Antioxidant protection for skin cells, DNA, proteins and lipids against oxidative stress reactions due to pollutants that have managed to penetrate the epidermis:
- Antioxidant supply
- Preservation and stimulation of the natural antioxidant pool
➔ Reactivation of cellular metabolisms thanks to the stimulation of energy production (ATP), in particular those of purification (detoxification) of waste generated by pollution.
Clinical results
[Po]: White Horehound Extract and Protective Plant Matrix

The white marrubus, also knowned as white horehound, is an herbaceous plant that grows naturally in temperate regions. The medicinal properties of marrubus were known to the Romans and Arabs, especially in topical application for its anti-inflammatory properties.
➔ In-Vitro :
- 76% reduction in the penetration of polluting microparticles
- 66% increase in ATP production (cellular energy)
- 64% improvement of the detoxification process by autophagy
- 26% reduction of the degradation by oxidative stress of proteins
- 38% reduction in oxidative stress degradation of lipids
- 21% reduction in DNA degradation
➔ In-Vivo : 4 weeks
- Reduction in the number of blackheads and comedones
- Refines skin texture
A fermented gum derived from sorbitol, the protective plant matrix is a high molecular weight anionic polysaccharide obtained by biotechnology and used to form an anti- pollution shield on the skin's surface.
➔ In-Vitro :
- 16% reduction of oxidative stress induced by fine particles
- 68% reduction of air pollution induced toxicity for mitochondria (responsible for cell respiration, cell metabolism is preserved)
- 26% reduction of lipid degradation by oxidative stress
- 68% increase in skin protection against UV damage
➔ In-Vivo :
- Reduction of nearly 95% of heavy metal deposits (iron, lead, chromium).
- 46% increase in protection against the encrustation of polluting particles on the skin.

The skin is exposed to air pollutants in the environment every day – particularly exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke, but also naturally occurring free radicals. Every person’s skin is unique and more or less sensitive to pollutants. However, just because some people’s skin is more capable of absorbing them doesn’t make them any less dangerous for their skin. As a result, skin that isn’t protected against pollutants quickly grows weaker: it dries out, the hydrolipid film on its surface is impaired, and it becomes irritated and more sensitive. The skin is destabilised, and the metabolism of its cells also slows down. Lacking energy, the skin loses its radiance and becomes more vulnerable to ageing.

To counter the damaging effects of pollution, it is necessary both to eliminate pollutants on the skin’s surface and prevent new ones from attaching to it. Furthermore, the skin’s antioxidant mechanisms must be supported to protect it against the effects of free radicals and to strengthen the structure of the cutaneous barrier.
