Fragile Cotton
Soothing, radical protection
The delicacy of cotton cells to soothe, protect and enhance even the most sensitive skin.
Fragile Cotton is an active ingredient derived from Gossypium arboreum plant cells, designed to comfort fragile skin. Thanks to its dual anti-inflammatory and anti-free radical action, it restores the skin’s balance in the face of daily aggressors, while helping to maintain soft, comfortable skin.
A botanical story
A symbol of softness and purity, woven by nature
Cotton, Gossypium, is a plant that has been cultivated for thousands of years in the warmer regions of the world, particularly in India and Egypt, where its soft, strong fibres were used to make textiles. The first traces of its use date back to around 5000 BC and it has since become a symbol of comfort and lightness.
Mainly grown for its fibres, cotton is also known for its ability to soothe and moisturise. Its seeds are rich in oil, whose nourishing properties are a precious resource in cosmetics. Today, cotton continues to play a central role in the textile industry while inspiring new research into its cosmetic properties. Its ability to protect, soothe and nourish the skin makes it an ideal ingredient for gentle, protective skin care.

Behind the science
How it works
Clinical & In vitro test results
At the heart of sensitivity: protect, soothe, preserve.
Fragile Cotton works in synergy to strengthen the resilience of sensitive skin in the face of environmental aggressors.
Thanks to its wealth of active metabolites derived from cotton cells, this 100% botanical active targets two key mechanisms associated with skin sensitivity:
It significantly reduces oxidative stress by limiting lipid peroxidation (MDA), thereby helping to preserve the integrity of cell membranes.
It slows down the inflammatory response by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators (IL1-α, IL-6, PGE2), which are often responsible for redness and discomfort.
This dual cellular action helps to prevent excessive responses and provides lasting relief from skin hyperreactivity.
An essential ally in restoring balance to fragile skin exposed to daily stress.
