Pink Nectar
Odycea – Oxi-Med Expres, S.A
PINK NECTAR™ has been designed for sensitive and stressed skins. It targets impaired barrier function and delayed barrier recovery. It is derived from the flower Calluna vulgaris and its nectar growing directly on cliffs and moor lands along the seashore.
Despite extreme marine conditions, very dry and acidic soils, all its pink flowers rich in nectar bloom in summer. Its nectar plays a defensive function in the flower due to its antimicrobial activity.
Odycea has been inspired by this remarkable capacity to adapt associated with the nectar role to develop PINK NECTARTM. It is titrated in total polyphenols and flavonoids expressed in myricetin equivalent.
As “Skin Recovery Hub”, it provides a holistic solution through 5 levels of action to protect and restore the healthy appearance of skin.
In vitro studies, using 2D models and skin explants models and in vivo studies showed that Pink Nectar:
1 • Balances skin microbiome (biofilm formation and anti-microbial peptides)
2 • Boosts skin anti-oxidant potential (anti-oxidant defenses)
3 • Reinforces skin barrier (cornified envelope and lipids)
4 • Improves skin homeostasis (cell connectivity, cell renewal and desquamation)
5 • Provides hydration (waters channels and NMF)
The mechanism of action has been demonstrated through genomic, proteomic and skin explant study. The product efficacy was confirmed through clinical evaluation.

Spring Snow
Odycea – Oxi-Med Expres, S.A
Spring Snow has been designed for breaking the vicious cycle of epidermal barrier defects, neurogenic inflammation and hypersensitivity observed in challenged skin.
Developed from the flowers of wild blackthorn, Spring Snow contains a unique variety of different flavonol glycosides that demonstrate multiple effects and benefits to help challenged skin regain comfort, beauty, and well-being.
In vitro studies, using 2D models and skin explants models and in vivo studies show that Spring snow:
• Reinforces the barrier function in stressful situations
• Enhances hydration
• Limits neurogenic inflammation at the origin of hypersensitivity of nerve fibers for a better skin comfort by inhibiting the expression of NGF, a key neurotrophic factor induced by daily irritating factors (UV, detergents) and TRPV1 activation
• Relieves and soothes the skin against the deleterious effects of SDS and pollutants by inhibiting the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-8 and limiting the over-expression of the stress marker, HO-1
• Prevents melanin oxidation induced by stress factors, including pollution, which is responsible for the appearance of pigmentation dark spots and the loss of complexion homogeneity
