The avocado, fruit of the avocado tree native to Central America, was considered sacred by the Aztecs. It was introduced to Europe in the 16th century and nicknamed "the American pear". Containing vitamins, minerals, proteins and essential fatty acids, it is an almost complete food and has long been used as a treatment for migraines, respiratory disorders and skin diseases.
Skincare benefits of Avocado peptides
Avocado peptides contribute to the proper functioning of the cell detoxification system and promote the gene expression of collagen I, the main component of the dermal extracellular matrix, and elastin. Avocado peptides therefore have an age-control effect on the dermis.
Responsible sourcing
Our extract partner-supplier reclaims rejected fruit after the sorting process. These "non-standard" fruits are discarded by the agri-food business, then reclamed to produce avocado peptides. In this way, Clarins and its partner develop a circular and sustainable economy to produce the avocado peptides. Indeed, our partner prioritizes the supply of avocadoes from remote valleys with difficult access, located on the Pacific coast and foothills of the Andes or the Amazon. This helps boost the local economy, for example by giving small producers access to the banking system thus minimizing the need to move around large amounts of cash. It also helps to curb the exodus of local communities (by creating jobs, etc.).
