Our Ingredients
NABENÏA products are crafted with a blend of botanical extracts and raw natural ingredients sustainably harvested and carefully transformed to meet high quality standard.
- Open your eyes on what nature has to offer. -
We study the effectiveness of the most powerful plants used for beauty purpose/ in beauty rituals in the different cultures all over the world for centuries and offer it to you in our products.
OUR MISSION:
To respect the skin's natural balance by creating gentle and effective products exclusively made of natural ingredients and certified organic ingredients.
The two main factors responsible for a radiant good-looking skin are:
- its level of hydration
- its level of inflammation
Indeed, hydration preserves the skin's natural elasticity and promotes its suppleness and firmness over the years.
Inflammation, on the other hand, often arises in response to stress, irritation, and sensitization, causing visible damages to the skin in terms of its texture and appearance. This can lead to rashes, redness, acne, excessive sebum production, sun intolerance, and dark spots among other reactions.
This is why we have thoughtfully selected ingredients (excipients, active ingredients, adjuvants) that are gentle on the skin helping prevent inflammation, boost its soothing and protect its integrity.
