Biocyte Terracotta solaire Intense® is the first supplement based on melanin from black olives associated to Glycoserum EF complex. Two actives, specific molecules of the epiderm to prepare your skin for sun exposure, sublimate your tan and preserve youth of your skin.
Sun exposure, the main cause of skin aging
The sun, what a pleasure to enjoy it, hang out at the swimming pool or at the beach. But did you know it was the main cause of skin aging? Indeed, even if it has positive effects on our moral but is responsible for 90% of wrinkles, and it leads to a premature aging of the skin.
For a better comprehension of skin aging, it’s important to know how the sun act on our skin.
The sun emits two types of ultraviolet rays : the UVA go straight to the derma whereas the UVB stops in the epidermis. In case of intense exposure to the sun, and particulary for sensitive skin, both of the UV will alter the cells located in the derma and epiderma. Consequences, a weakened dry skin.
You can now understand why it’s important to prepare your skin for sun exposure, and that is the challenge of our nutricosmetics products. By acting from the inside, Terracotta Solaire Intense prepare the skin for sun exposure and preserve the youth potential of it

Terracotta Solaire Intense it’s the combination of two active ingredients, Glycosérum EF and mélanine for a triple action : anti-aging, hydratation and sun exposure preparation.
Melanin from black olives
Melanin is made by our skin’s cells, and particularly by the melanocytes. Melanocytes are cells present in the dermis and their main role is to synthesize melanin from a well-known amino acid: tyrosine.
The amount of melanin present in the skin determines its color as well as its ability to protect against the ultraviolet rays of the sun during a sun exposure.
Melanin has a key role in protecting the skin. Indeed, the melanin grains are able to stop some of the sun's rays. How is it possible? Melanin is able to absorb photons, to disperse them but also to capture free radicals.
Our melanin is made from black olive skin and each of our capsule contains 20mg of melanin.
Glycosérum EF®
Glycoserum EF® consists of glycolipids, phospholipids and ceramides extracted from wheat germ. These three lipids are the constituents of the hydrolipidic film of the skin. Ceramides are more particularly the constituents of the stratum corneum and are regulating the insensitive loss in water.
The double action of the glycoserum EF®: anti-aging and hydration. As we have seen, ceramides limit the insensible loss of water, which helps keeping our skin hydrated in the long term. Thanks’ to that, we can observe skin hydration up to 63% higher (2).
The skin is moisturized, wrinkles are filled, and wrinkle depth can be reduced by up to 22% (3) over 12 weeks of use.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is the true friend of your skin. Indeed, this vitamin protects the skin against oxidative stress and helps stabilize the triple helical structure of collagen. A good intake of vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen to ensure the normal function of the skin
Copper
Copper is an essential trace mineral. The nutritional intake recommended by ANSES is 1 mg per day for the adult woman and between 1.5 mg and 2 mg per day for the adult man.
Copper is an antioxidant. Indeed, it is a co-factor of superoxide dismutase (SOD), an enzyme that fights against oxidation phenomena. This trace element provides the skin with better protection against external aggressions.
