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

Skin Repair

[Rea] + [Reb] + [Rec]

  • Presentation

    Boosts cellular renewal and synthesis of the skin’s building blocks to speed up cutaneous healing.

  • Mechanisms of action

    ➔  Acceleration of the skin repair process through :

    • Relief of inflammation and irritation in the skin areas to be repaired. 
    • Stimulation of the skin's immune system and antibacterial effect to prevent contamination that slows down the skin repair process. 
    • Favored migration of fibroblasts to the skin areas to be repaired. 
    • Activation of fibroblasts to accelerate tissue repair by stimulating the synthesis of vital dermal proteins. 
    • Supply of hyaluronic acid, which plays an important biological role in the repair process. 
    • Stimulation of the microcirculation. 
    • Preservation of the barrier function and maintenance of hydration levels.

     

    ➔ Protection against oxidative stress of cells, DNA, extra-cellular matrix components (collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid...) and skin lipids.

    [Rea] St. Paul's Wort and Tiger Grass Extract
    [Reb] Centella Asiatica Extract
    [Rec] Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta-glucan
    [Red] Hyaluronic Acid Medium Molecular Weight


    [Rea]: St. Paul's Wort and Tiger Grass Extract
    Combination of plant extracts from Madagascar: darutoside, a molecule extracted from siegesbeckia orientalis and centella asiatica extract rich in asiaticoside. Both plants are known for their anti-inflammatory and restructuring properties of the extra-cellular matrix.

    ➔ In-Vivo for 28 days :
    • 13% reduction in redness. 
    • 10.5% and up to 33% reduction in roughness in 77% of participants. 
    • Lifting effect of 14.9% and up to 48% in 85% of part
     
    [Reb]:  Centella Asiatica Extract
    Centella asiatica from Madagascar, also known as Tiger grass, is a plant that grows exclusively in the wild. It has been used since 1850 to treat leprosy lesions, dermatitis, oedemas, wounds and inflammations of the skin.

    ➔ In-Vitro :
    • 60% inhibition of inflammation mediators, such as Interleukin-1α 
    • 68% reduction in intracellular oxidation state 
    • 19% reduction in DNA fragmentation after stress 
    • Inhibition of enzymes responsible for degradation of the extracellular matrix (up to -63%) 
    • Activation of fibroblast migration towards the areas to be repaired up to +61% 
    • Stimulation of 34% of the microcirculation to remodel the skin > Skin reconstruction takes 12 days instead of 21 days
     
    [Rec]: Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta-glucan
    This molecule is derived from revolutionary yeasts that strongly protect the skin from dehydration after stress, accelerate skin regeneration and stimulate the skin's immune system.

    ➔ In-Vitro :
    • 35% inhibition of the diffusion of inflammation mediators 
    • 53% decrease in electrical discomfort signals in nerve cells 
    • Maintenance of hydration after stress 
    • 35% increase in cell regeneration after 14 days of application 
    • Inhibition of more than 95% of lipid oxidation phenomena
     
    ➔ In-Vivo :
    • 28% increase in skin firmness after 28 days of treatment 
    • Protection against UV damage
     
    [Red]: Hyaluronic Acid Medium Molecular Weight
    This pure hyaluronic acid of medium molecular weight was extracted by fermentation of renewable plant extracts (wheat and beet). This star active ingredient reinforces the skin's natural defenses and deeply strengthens the skin's water reservoirs.

    ➔ In-Vitro :
    • Increase 6 times greater than the control in the production of natural antibacterial peptides capable of inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria while preserving the resident skin flora.
    • Reinforcement of the healing effect in 24 hours by adding hyaluronic acid

    ➔ Ex-vivo : 
    • 97% stimulation of antibacterial activity.

    The skin has a natural capacity to regenerate itself following wounds, cuts, scratches and spots. A scab forms over the lesion, a protective shield that allows the skin to activate its full healing processes. Repairing the skin involves fixing damage to the membrane structure and fibres, and replacing the entire top layer of cells. Once this repair process has been completed, the scab falls off, revealing normal, unscarred skin. A slight intensification in skin colour is frequently noted after a spot has healed. This is known as post-inflammatory pigmentation, and it can take a while before the skin reassumes its normal colour. To prevent inadequate repair and to optimise and speed up cutaneous healing, the skin should first be strengthened, by improving its cellular cohesion and the structure of its extracellular matrix. Subsequently, differentiation of keratinocytes and fibroblast repair should be stimulated in the body to speed up skin regeneration. Finally, to prevent infections, its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity should be boosted.
