  • 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.

  • Presentation

    STIMULATES MELANIN SYNTHESIS FOR A DEEPER, MORE EVEN AND LONGLASTING TAN.

  • Mechanisms of action

    ➔ Increase of melanin production without the need for prolonged exposure to the sun by providing tyrosine (the amino acid used for melanin synthesis).

     

    ➔ Prevention and protection of the skin against the harmful effects caused by UV rays (Tamanu oil and sesame oil naturally protect the skin from UVs).

  • Clinical results

    ➔ In vitro : 85.2% increase in tyrosinase activity (enzyme involved in the transformation of tyrosine into melanin) when in contact with the synergy of active ingredients contained in [Br].

     

    [Bra]: Tamanu Oil
    In ancient times, Tamanu, or Calophyllum inophyllum, was a sacred tree in Polynesia. Its very precious oil has nourishing, soothing and repairing properties. It also has a high capacity to absorb UV rays and protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays, thus preventing skin aging
     
    [Brb]: Sesame Oil
    Virgin sesame oil is known for its antioxidant and restructuring properties.

    [Brc]: Natural Tyrosine
    Tyrosine is the amino acid from which melanin is synthesized, the dark biological pigment responsible for skin coloration. When exposed to the sun, the synthesis of melanin is accelerated and the tanning appears.

    Melanin is a pigment naturally produced by the skin to protect itself against the harmful effects of UV rays. In fact, melanin has the ability to absorb ultraviolet rays and thus to a certain extent protects skin from aggressive solar radiation.
    Found in the epidermis, melanocytes are the cells responsible for synthesising melanin.

     

    This process of synthesis is constant and determines skin colour, particularly due to the number, type and size of these pigments, which colour neighbouring cells
    in the epidermis. Yet melanin production is designed to increase when skin is exposed to UV rays, giving it the matte and brown shade typical of a tan.
    In order to achieve such a highly sought-after tanned complexion more quickly, deeply and long lastingly, it is now possible to directly stimulate the synthesis and transport of melanin to the outer layers of the skin.
