Winter poses unique challenges to skin health, leading to increased dryness, and irritation due to cold temperatures, low humidity, and exposure to indoor heating. The skin’s natural lipid barrier plays a crucial role in retaining moisture and protecting against environmental aggressors. However, this barrier can become compromised in winter, making it essential to reinforce it with lipid-rich skincare solutions.
Plant oils are a scientifically backed solution, offering a range of benefits, including restoring hydration, providing essential fatty acids, and acting as natural antioxidants. At Helwé, we prioritize the use of non-comedogenic plant oils that mimic the skin’s natural sebum composition, ensuring deep nourishment without clogging pores. Our carefully formulated products harness the powerful properties of plant oils to keep skin resilient and radiant throughout the colder months.
Helwé’s Essential Skincare Infused with Plant Oils
Prodige Démaquillant Hydratant
Infused with jojoba oil, macadamia oil, and calendula macerate, this gentle makeup remover effectively dissolves impurities while maintaining the integrity of the skin’s lipid barrier. Jojoba oil is particularly beneficial as its molecular structure closely resembles human sebum, making it highly compatible with all skin types. Macadamia oil, rich in palmitoleic acid, enhances skin elasticity and repair, while calendula macerate provides anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.

Beta-carotene and lycopene are potent carotenoids known for their ability to neutralize free radicals and protect against environmental damage, including pollution and UV exposure.
