Our moments are invitations to take care of ourselves. Allowing a few extra minutes to massage our scalp when shampooing, clean our skin or even massage our face allows us to do something simple for ourselves
These moments are well-being moments without you having to wonder about the safety and effectiveness of the ingredients. Your well-being is our priority
When I discover, thanks to Ariane...
Today we celebrate our 6th anniversary. One more year, what a joy!
We have never been so excited to see the next few years with you, the Amalthea family
Soon we will be able to add next to Amalthea, « a family story since 2018 »
We can't thank you enough...
Since 2022, I have been warning you about | forever chemicals, PFAS |. They constitute one of the most serious contaminations the world is facing
These very stable chemical substances are mainly used for their water-repellent, waterproof, non-stick and flame-retardant properties. You find them directly in cardboard food packaging, waterproof clothing, non-stick pans, ...
When temperatures rise, our bodies lose more water
Therefore I recommend a little switch in your skincare routine by applying your face cream also in the evening. One or two pumps is enough before your moment « under the stars ». Your skin will be more hydrated and will be able thus to better absorb the oil you need
There are two types of UV, UVA and UVB
Until the 2000s, scientists believed that only UVB was responsible for skin cancer. Therefore the sun protection factor (SPF) on sunscreens is only related to UVB
UVB tans our skin but has a shorter wavelength than UVA. UVA rays are also responsible for skin cancer and aging. It is thus really important to protect ourselves from UVA
Summer is coming. It is time to check the UV index
The UV index measures the intensity of UV radiation emitted by the sun and thus the risk it represents for our health. The scale is from 0 to 11
From 3, WHO recommends sun protection
Spoiler we still don't know why it is called castor oil - there is no relationship whatsoever with the cute beavers
When we worked on the process of our hair formulas, we discussed the relevance of using castor oil
Presented as an oil that promotes hair growth while strengthening it, castor oil initially seemed interesting. So we decided to find out more about this oil
Hair absorbs oil only when they are wet. Huile d'Amande Douce | Sweet Almond oil is for normal to dry hair, Huile de Prune | Plum oil for very dry and textured hair
Therefore I recommend you to apply one to four sprays on wet hair lengths depending on their needs then rinse your hair
Quite hard these last months to miss the advertisement on collagen, praising its anti-aging benefits
Scientists found 29 types of collagen in the human body. Type I is the most abundant in the skin (80%)
As the French Health and Medical Research Institute explain, collagen is a protein that the body is not able to assimilate in this form. When ingested, it is broken down into amino acids. These amino acids can then be used by the body to build proteins, i.e. collagen or other...
When we started working on the development of our shampoos, I realized that I was using my shampoo incorrectly. I used to apply it to my scalp and my lengths
In fact, only our scalp needs cleansing. Therefore we don't need to apply shampoo to our hair lengths
Happy to share with you my simple method to find out which one of our shampoos is right for you
First of all, we shampoo only the scalp. So you choose your shampoo based on your scalp type
When temperatures drop below 0°C, we recommend you to use only your night oil in the morning
The water inside the cream freezes on your face outside if you use it
Therefore the skincare routine changes in this condition: oil in the morning, cleansing in the evening and then cream and oil before you go to sleep
