Apot.Care

Luminosity, radiance, purity, intensity… As a new reference in high-end dermocosmetics, Apot.Care draws its unique approach from the science of ophthalmology.

By transposing the eyes’ youth and health criteria to the skin and by reproducing their immunity mechanisms to those of the epidermis, the Apot.Care range offers an exceptional and innovative global anti-ageing performance.

Expertise
Ophthalmology, dermatology and nutrition : a team of experts has studied the fundamental principles of ophthalmologic medication and discovered that the active ingredients selected for this purpose are also characterized by a strong epidermal efficiency combined with an extreme innocuousness Powerful yet non aggressive, these active ingredients are required in the elaboration of medical protocols intended for treating diseases affecting the extremely sensitive organs that are the eyes. As we expect the very best of efficacy and security when it comes to our eyes, why not be as demanding for our skin?

Safety

These active ingredients, sourced from the very best of what nature and science can offer, ensure a medical level of quality and security.

By increasing the resistance and boosting the regeneration and healing ability of the epidermis, the NAC-A range, formulated with the innovative and patented NAC-A complex, preserves the youth and radiance of even the most fragile skins. Efficiency
By transposing those technologies, Apot.Care reinvents high-end dermocosmetics with the integration of innovative and perfectly pure active ingredients into ultra-sensorial formulas offering scientifically tested and validated results, both in ophthalmology and dermatology.

Cosmetics 27

A pharmacist by training, Michèle Evrard worked for more than 18 years in the cosmetics industry.

The story began when, after knee surgery, she discovered the restorative virtues of the extracts of Centella Asiatica. Amazed at the results that she observed during the healing process, the pharmacist began her research and discovered that this medicinal plant, used in Ayurvedic medicine for more than 3,000 years, harbored a wealth of other virtues!

CREATIVE INSPIRATION

The plant is often used by cosmetic laboratories, but Michèle Evrard concentrated on three natural purified extracts of Centella Asiatica that represent the very quintessence of the plant, whose repairing, regenerating, anti-inflammatory and anti-free radical properties are simply exceptional. That's how the MA2 Complex came to be patented!

PHARMACIST CREATES AMAZING NEW GALENICAL FORMULA

Past experience in preparing pharmaceutical compounds formulas had left Michèle Evrard with a passion for old-fashioned recipes like balms and ointments. She decided that her product would be a balm, made up like a dermatological preparation, with selected active ingredients targeting the needs of her own skin (common to many other women).

Amazed at the results that she observed during the healing process, the pharmacist began her research and discovered that this medicinal plant, used in Ayurvedic medicine for more than 3,000 years, harbored a wealth of other virtues!
