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.

Presentation

Ultimate dermal regeneration that fights all signs of aging and fatigue with the ultimate active cosmetic innovation.
Mechanisms of action
➔ Stimulation of cell proliferation and differentiation, for optimal skin regeneration thanks to :
- A phyto-retinol stimulating the entire cell renewal process, like pure retinol but without its side effects.
- An epigenetic peptide that reprograms the cells of the basal layer, preserving their ability to reproduce (cell division).
➔ Reduction of insensible water loss, improvement of water retention capacity.

➔ Stimulation of the production of extracellular matrix components: collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid...

➔ Protection against oxidative stress:
- Contribution of an antioxidant action to slow down oxidative stress
- Stimulation of a key cell transcription factor (FOXO, a key to cell longevity) controlling the response to different types of stress by promoting: DNA repair, detoxification processes, the cell renewal cycle, inhibition of apoptosis, degradation of dermal fibers, etc...
➔ Regulation of pigmentation for a unified complexion, faded pigmentation spots.

Results: improved hydration, faded wrinkles and spots, restored firmness
Clinical results
[Aa^a] Epigenetic Peptide
[Aa^b] Snow Algae Extract
[Aa^c] Bidens Pilosa Extract
[Aa^a]: Epigenetic Peptide
This peptide reprograms the cells of the basal layer of the epidermis to preserve their ability to renew themselves over time.

➔ In-Vitro :

Stimulation of the activity of genes responsible for the creation of new epidermal cells in the basal layer (by cell division)

➔ In-Vivo, after 56 days of application :

Revitalized skin that looks 17 years younger

Renewal of the stratum corneum accelerated by 16

Up to 41.3% reduction in skin roughness
[Aa^b]: Snow Algae Extract
This active ingredient is extracted from red snow algae, unicellular organisms that thrive in the extreme temperature and sunlight conditions of alpine or polar climates. These extremophilic algae have developed a unique adaptation system: they modify their composition and pigmentation.

➔ In-Vitro :
Increase in the activity of the key factor of cellular longevity (FOXO)

Stimulation of Collagen I and II synthesis > Inhibition of collagen degradation by MMP enzymes

Reduction of the overproduction of proteins related to the effects of aging

➔ In-Vivo :

39% increase in the surface area of the dermal-epidermal junction after 28 days

Decrease in the visibility of age spots in 67% of volunteers after 21 days of application

Reduction in insensible water loss after 21 days of application

Improvement of micro-relief in 80% of volunteers after 28 days of application

10% improvement in hydration compared to placebo after 28 days of application

[Aa^c]: Bidens Pilosa Extract

Bidens pilosa, also called black-jack, farmer’s friends or Spanish needle, is a species of flowering plants of the Asteraceae family. This plant native to South America has an anti-aging mechanism similar to that of Retinol, it helps boost cell proliferation and differentiation, triggers an antioxidant action and stimulates the production of the building blocks of the extracellular matrix.

➔ In-Vivo, after 56 days of application :

17% increase in skin elasticity after 56 days

25% increase in dermal redensification after 42 days

67% reduction in hyperpygmented surface area after 56 days

36% reduction in texture defects after 42 days

28% reduction in deep wrinkles after 42 days

All of our body’s cells come from other cells via a process of division and differentiation. The term ‘stem cells’ refers to the original embryonic cells at the root of the entire chain of differentiation. That’s why they are referred to as undifferentiated, unspecialised cells, capable of producing identical copies of themselves or of transforming into one or several kinds of specialised cells and giving rise to various organs and tissues. Adult stem cells are found in the brain, liver and skin.

. After many years of research and development, botanical researchers have recently succeeded in isolating and growing in the laboratory plant stem cells which, applied to the skin, allow all the beneficial effects of the plant to act tenfold on the skin’s metabolism. Premium active ingredients, plant stem cells offer a tremendously effective all-around anti-ageing action.
