PRODUCT INFORMATION

About product:
Experience the ultimate defense against aging with Crème Défense - a transformative age-protective day cream enriched with Alga Nori — a powerful UV-A protection* forming a primary shield against harmful UV-A rays, ensuring your skin is safeguarded throughout the day. Elevating the formula is the natural wonder, Ubiquinone, also known as Coenzyme Q10. This powerhouse ingredient, abundant in antioxidants, diligently combats signs of aging, leaving your skin visibly firmer and plumper. The perfect ally in your quest for timeless beauty. 

The 100% natural concentrated — Duo Skincare Technology — in Crème Défense is meticulously crafted to provide your skin with the healthiest benefits. Each application contributes to a fortified defense system, creating a foundation for healthy, age-resistant skin. Embrace the power of nature and science working together for your skin's ultimate well-being.

*Crème Défense is a moisturizer with added UV-A protection. It does not protect against UV-B protection and does not replace a full spectrum sunscreen.

When we are inside of our homes, UV rays can still enter through the window, or when it is cloudy and winter and the sun is weak, UV rays can still enter the skin. UV-A is the radiation that causes skin aging like wrinkles and dark spots. Whereas UV-B radiation causes skin burn. Whenever you stay inside or when it is cloudy outside and the sun is not strong, a UV-A protection suffices. However, if you are exposed to stronger UV-rays or would like to have the full spectrum protection, we advise to wear a full spectrum sunscreen.

Best for problems:
Aging skin, dark spots, uneven skintone, loss of collagen and elasticity, dullness, wrinkles, dryness

Skin type:
Suitable for dry to normal skin type

Texture:
Soft, silky, rich cream

Scent:
Floral, rose, amber

HOW TO USE

When to Apply: Transform your daily routine into a luxurious ritual. Use AM

100% of the ingredients are natural
79% of the ingredients come from organic farming*

Free from:

Animal testing, animal derived ingredients, synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oils, microplastics.

Purity:
Many conventional products on the market overly refine their products. They decolorize the formulas and dye them to make the color look more attractive. They deodorize the formulas so the natural scent gets removed, in order to add a signature scent.

When you refine natural ingredients so much, their structures change, and they lose their potency. Vital vitamins and minerals get lost in the process.

We go for the best results by keeping it natural and pure. We limit processing and keep the natural color and scent of the ingredients. This might result into a slightly different color or scent from time to time. It also results into the highest purity of the ingredients.

SUSTAINABILITY

Ethical production:
Sustainability, social responsibility and transparency are very important to us. We care about your health and the health of our planet and our people. Our products are formulated, packed, and shipped in Europe and we don't use ingredients that could potentially be harvested by children or in bad work environments. We choose certified organic ingredients as often as possible, which means farmers got paid a fair wages.

Sustainable packaging:
We use glass bottles for our products, which are highly recyclable. We use easily recyclable and FSC certified cartons for our secundary packaging. We try to limit the use of plastic as much as possible and only use it when there is no other suitable option available.

Organic ingredients:
All of our ingredients are 100% natural, and a large part of our formulas exist of organically farmed ingredients. We choose organically farmed ingredients as often as we can. These ingredients been grown in the most natural environments without disturbing nature's balance. The healthy, unpolluted soils that they've grown in are incredibly rich in nutrients, making everything that grows there extra potent, resulting in more skin results.

FAQ

Crème Défense Q&A

Where are your products made?

Our products are made in The Netherlands, Europe.

What is the difference between natural and organic ingredients?

We use organic ingredients wherever we can. If we could make a 100% organic formula we would have. However, it is not always possible to reach this.

Crème Défense is 100% natural and 79% of the ingredients come from organic farming.

Organically farmed ingredients are cultivated using organic farming practices that promote soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance. With that, these ingredients contain 12-16% more antioxidants than their non-organic counterparts¹, creating more skin results for you.

¹A meta-analysis published in the "British Journal of Nutrition" in 2014 analyzed 343 peer-reviewed publications comparing the nutritional quality of organic and conventional crops. The researchers found that organically grown crops had higher levels of certain antioxidants, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and anthocyanins. (Source: Barański, M., Średnicka-Tober, D., Volakakis, N., Seal, C., Sanderson, R., Stewart, G. B., . . . Leifert, C. (2014).

Why should I choose natural and organic ingredients over synthetic ingredients?

Choosing natural and organic ingredients over synthetic ones is beneficial for several reasons. By opting for natural and organic skincare, you prioritize the health of your skin and support environmentally sustainable practices.

Nutrient-Rich: All the buzz ingredients in synthetic skincare, are all derived from natural sources. Natural ingredients are packed with ceramides, proteins, peptides, vitamins, fatty acids, polyphenols, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and more. Where synthetic ingredient often focus on only 1 property, natural ingredients contain a variety of benefits in each ingredient. Choosing a natural skincare with many natural ingredients, gives you a plethora of benefits in 1 product. We believe natural skincare is the basis of healthy skin.
Gentle on the Skin: Natural ingredients are typically less harsh and irritating compared to synthetic ones. They are less likely to strip the skin of its natural oils or cause adverse reactions, making them suitable for sensitive or delicate skin types.

Environmentally Friendly: Organic ingredients are cultivated without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, which can harm the environment and contribute to pollution. By choosing organic skincare, you support sustainable agricultural practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and conservation.

Safer Formulations: Synthetic ingredients may contain potentially harmful chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and artificial fragrances. These chemicals have been associated with various health concerns, including skin irritation, hormone disruption, and environmental pollution. Natural and organic skincare formulations avoid these harmful substances, offering safer alternatives for both your skin and the environment.

Ethical Considerations: Choosing natural and organic skincare aligns with ethical values such as animal welfare and sustainability. Many natural skincare brands, including us, are cruelty-free and refrain from testing on animals, while organic farming practices prioritize the well-being of animals and ecosystems.

Overall, opting for natural and organic skincare reflects a holistic approach to beauty and well-being, prioritizing the health of your skin, the welfare of animals, and the sustainability of the planet.

Does natural skincare give better results than synthetic skincare?

Synthetic skincare products often contain potent chemicals that can deliver immediate results, such as temporary tightening, brightening, or plumping of the skin. These quick fixes can create the appearance of smoother, more radiant skin in the short term.

However, while synthetic skincare may provide immediate results upon application, these effects may not necessarily translate into long-term benefits for skin health. Many synthetic ingredients work by temporarily altering the skin's surface or function, rather than addressing underlying skin concerns. Continuous use of synthetic skincare products may lead to dependency on these quick-fix solutions, as the skin becomes accustomed to the temporary effects.

Moreover, some synthetic ingredients may pose risks of irritation, sensitization, or other adverse reactions with prolonged use, especially for individuals with sensitive or reactive skin. Over time, repeated exposure to synthetic chemicals may disrupt the skin's natural balance and protective barrier, potentially leading to long-term damage or negative consequences.

In contrast, natural skincare products focus on nurturing and supporting the skin's inherent processes. Natural ingredients, derived from plants and botanicals, are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that promote skin health from within. While the results of natural skincare may be more gradual compared to synthetic alternatives, they tend to be more sustainable and holistic, offering long-term benefits for skin health and vitality.

Therefore, while synthetic skincare may provide quick fixes, the long-term efficacy and sustainability of natural skincare make it a preferred choice for individuals seeking comprehensive skin care solutions that prioritize both short-term and long-term skin health.

Is Crème Défense suitable for sensitive skin?

However, individual sensitivities can vary, so we recommend conducting a patch test before using the product extensively, especially if you have known sensitivities.

Additionally, our products are free from common irritants such as harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and dyes, making them a suitable choice for many sensitive skin concerns. If you have specific questions or concerns about your skin type, we're here to help you find the best products for your needs.

Crème Défense contains 3 common allergens. This means less than 1% of people could be allergic to these ingredients. You can compare it with someone being allergic to tomatoes. That doesn't mean everybody should avoid tomatoes.

However, people who know they are allergic should avoid them. The 3 common allergens in this products are: Coumarin, Linalool, and Citronellol. Please see the EU Allergens List here.

Why are Chatelier products such a big investment?

Premium quality: Our products are priced to reflect the premium value and quality our customers receive with the quality of ingredients and ethical standards we uphold. Our products are crafted with a meticulous selection of natural and organic ingredients, which are often more expensive to source and cultivate compared to synthetic alternatives. Organic farming practices require more labor-intensive methods and adhere to strict standards and certifications, contributing to higher production costs. Additionally, the quality and purity of natural ingredients contribute to the effectiveness in delivering skincare benefits.

Premium materials: Moreover, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond ingredient sourcing to our packaging materials. While glass is more expensive to manufacture and transport compared to plastic, it offers numerous benefits, including being recyclable, durable, reusable, non-toxic and preserves the product integrity. By opting for glass packaging, we minimize environmental impact, contribute to a circular economy and prioritize the health and safety of our customers.

Premium results: Ultimately, the higher price point of our products reflects our dedication to quality, efficacy, and sustainability throughout the entire production process. Our formulations are carefully crafted to deliver effective results while upholding ethical and sustainable practices. Investing in premium-quality ingredients and eco-conscious packaging not only ensures superior skincare but also aligns with our commitment to environmental stewardship and conscious consumerism. We believe that investing in premium skincare aligns with the values of our discerning customers who prioritize skincare excellence and environmental responsibility.
