When we say bacteria, we immediately think of diseases of all kinds. However, 50% of our cells are bacterial and this percentage is even higher when we talk about DNA. Concretely, this means that the micro-organisms that are bacteria are everywhere, on and in the body. And far from making us sick, these bacteria constitute our "flora" or "microbiome" (also known as microbiota) and protect the body against external aggressions, promote the absorption of nutrients and can even affect our mood. . Rebalancing the microbiome is the mission of the Gallinée skincare brand, created in 2016 by Marie Drago, which offers products for the skin and hair. Formulated with lactic acid, prebiotics and probiotics, they seek to promote the cultivation of good bacteria, while reducing the presence of bad ones. CQFD.
At Gallinée, there are no lines dedicated to each type of skin, since the basic premise is that by rebalancing the microbiome, the skin becomes "normal" and therefore has no specific needs for oily skin. or dry (same for the scalp which, once normalized, no longer scratches or peels). The brand is particularly aimed at sensitive skins who see a real difference from the first uses. The face line consists of 5 products (a cleansing foam, a mask-scrub, a vinegar, a serum and a cream), the body line of 3 products (a milk, a hand cream and a cleansing bar) and the one for the hair, just launched, with 3 products (a soothing cleansing cream – non-foaming –, a care mask and a hair and scalp serum). On the price side, we start at 11 € for the cleansing bar, and the most expensive product is the serum, at a price of 60 €. 2 boxes are available to discover the brand, one for the face (the well-named New Box of Bacteria Blooming) and one for the body.
As you will have understood, Gallinée is a brand that we love (and we are not the only ones:the brand received a Marie-Claire Beauty Excellence Award). And we bet that the microbiome will inspire cosmetic brands in the future. To be continued.
