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.

Hi
Cold protection

[Hi]

  • Presentation

    Preserves the skin’s ability to stay hydrated and regenerate when exposed to cold.

  • Mechanisms of action

     ➔ Maintains the skin's moisture level when subjected to extreme cold.

     ➔ Reinforcement of the skin's integrity by the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

     ➔ Regeneration and repair of the skin attacked by the cold.

  • Clinical results

    [Hi] : Glycoprotein from Antarctica
    This active ingredient is extracted from Pseudoalteromonas Antarctica NF3, a bacterium that grows on the Antarctic glaciers. During its growth, it synthesizes a cryoprotective glycoprotein that protects it from freezing in extreme cold situations.
     
    In-Vitro, in very cold conditions:
     ➔ 36% increase in keratinocyte growth after 48 hours (accelerated skin regeneration)
     ➔ 125% increase in collagen I synthesis, 81% increase in collagen IV and 31% increase in elastin.
     
    In vivo :
     ➔ 44% reduction in wrinkle depth.

    When it’s cold out, the body tries to minimise heat loss to maintain its normal temperature of 37°. To do so it causes vasoconstriction (contraction of the blood vessels) in the skin to increase its internal heat. Vasoconstriction slows the blood flow, reducing supplies to the cells and endangering their survival. Furthermore, the activity of the sebaceous glands, responsible for renewing the hydrolipid film, is also slowed down. Yet this film is an essential layer of protection for our skin. As a result, in winter, without this film, the skin grows weaker and more sensitive. It becomes rough, dries out and peels.

    Consequently, when winter and cold weather are on their way, particular care should be taken to use skincare products specially formulated to protect the skin’s essential functions. More specifically, first and foremost, the skin’s hydration and integrity must be maintained against the cold. Next, its regenerative capacity and repair mechanisms need to be boosted. Thus protected, skin is ready to face the cold without fear.
