Get in touchSage is a small herbaceous perennial from the dry regions around the Mediterranean. It is an aromatic plant that has been well-known since antiquity for its medicinal properties. Its name comes from the verb to save (salvare in Latin). It is said to be antiseptic, tonic, antiperspirant, soothing for the mucous membranes and to improve digestion. It is combined with other plants to create a range of remedies. Now cultivated in several European and American countries, it is also used as a flavouring in cooking, particularly in marinades and to season game.

it is both open and closed to the external environment. Its primary role is to protect us against water loss, but it has many other roles: sensory, emotional, protection against external threats, temperature regulation and hormone synthesis. Because it is protective, the epidermis is referred to as a "skin barrier".The epidermis is not an assembly of inert components; on the contrary, it is living and constantly renewed: bacteria proliferate on the surface, living and dying depending on external conditions and on our bodies. In the lower layers, a cellular differentiation process takes place: moving up to the surface, living cells called keratinocytes, gradually transform into corneocytes, dead keratinized cells, and then shed. Our skin is thus constantly shedding and secreting mucus. Paradoxically, it is this incessant renewal of its composition that enables the skin to retain its full functionality. It is a perpetually renewed balance.
The skin barrier and its external aggressions

And it is essential to maintain it because in terms of threats, the skin has to face several types: physical (UV, temperatures, etc.), chemical and microbial (viruses, fungi, pollution, allergens, etc.), and internal imbalances (stress) that trigger oxidation and inflammation that ultimately damages cells. To combat them, the epidermis uses several defence mechanisms, ranging from simple to highly complex.
Serene Skin Sage acts on three types of epidermal defence: physical, chemical and immune, which follow one another in the skin’s lines of defence, from the surface into the living layers of the epidermis.
Healthy skin is first of all made up of a homogeneous, thick (100 microns), uniform stratum corneum, with a balanced lipid composition, which prevents penetration by foreign agents and retains moisture. However, skin ageing and other imbalances slow down epidermal differentiation and therefore cornification. By acting on cell differentiation, lipid synthesis and key proteins in cornification,
Serene Skin Sage strengthens the corneocyte structure at the skin’s surface.
The skin’s surface has to maintain a balance of different kinds of bacteria and face pathogens: too frequent washing and lack of exposure to certain microbes or viruses can lower the level of our chemical defences, the presence of good bacteria then decreases, and the release of anti-microbial peptides is less effective. By acting on the microbiota’s key bacteria and stimulating the production of anti-microbial peptides,
Serene Skin Sage enhances the action of the skin's anti-microbial weapons.
The final line of defence is provided by immune function cells and the associated inflammatory mediators. They are the last resort in the fight against pathogens and stopping any damage. Several inflammatory mediators are markers of their action, such as TNF-alpha. Others signal the intrusion of the pathogens. Through its action on key inflammatory mediators involved in the immune system defence mechanisms,
Serene Skin Sage strengthens the immune response and reduces skin inflammation.
