Adorage - For the Skin You Will Adore
"Skin Couture line for those who care about their skin.
The Story.
The first luxury skincare line to combine gentle neutralized glycolic acid and active ingredients with one of the world's most coveted botanical recipes formulated and made in France.
Marked by youthful exuberance...fueled by a gleeful disregard for routine:
The 1960s French New Wave scene was one every young, gorgeous woman wanted to be part of. The few who made it in spent their sleepless nights dancing in smoky jazz clubs and their days soaking in the sun rays on the beaches of St. Tropez.
Yet as the women of the French New Wave lived decadently, their fast-paced lifestyles quickly caught up with their appearances. Toxins, lack of sleep, and poor diet all accelerated the aging process.
One woman, actress Delphine Vouler, was able to keep up her whirlwind lifestyle while still looking young and gorgeous.
In the early Sixties, Vouler had a flawless complexion. By the end of the decade, she'd noticed her skin had lost its youthful radiance-until she visited her grandmother in Provence. There, the older woman told Delphine about a botanical cream, prescribed by her family pharmacy since the 19th century. It was her grandmother's most protected recipe and the secret behind her eternally youthful skin.
For decades, this Secret Recipe was kept strictly within the Vouler Family, but the potion's magic was still whispered about by women in the know, like the founders of ADORAGE.
While they started their dream skincare line, the founders of ADORAGE began talking about the rumored Secret Recipe. Soon after, in the most serendipitous of beauty moments, the founders crossed paths with a member of Delphine's family. The Vouler descendant knew how special the secret Recipe was, and she generously shared it with the founders, who, in turn, are bringing it to skin savvy women around the globe through ADORAGE. Once the creators had the Secret Recipe, they were inspired to incorporate modern day technological innovations to boost ADORAGE's formulas.
What's Inside the Secret recipe?
Developed in the 19th century by pharmacist Henri Coullet, the Secret recipe is an alchemical blend of botanical herbs, all of which have specific benefits to the skin.
Knowing how precious this prescription is ADORAGE researched laboratories all around the globe before finding one they entrusted to work with the formula.
ADORAGE finally settled on an esteemed laboratory on the Champs-Elysees. There, the chemists were able to replicate the prescription, as well as improve upon the original version: they enhanced the efficacy and added new botanicals. ADORAGE incorporates cutting-edge technology to slow down the natural process of aging by stimulating the skin's defensive and regenerative functions.
The Anti-Paraben Stance
The controversial addition of parabens in skincare is of great concern to the creators of ADORAGE. Some studies have reported that exposure to parabens ( preservatives in the majority of skincare products) could be cancerous. Since skincare products are used several times throughout the day, incidental exposure to parabens is extremely high. This increases the opportunity for these chemicals to travel into the bloodstream.
ADORAGE sidesteps this issue by maintaining a paraben-free approach-the brand would rather be safe than sorry.
The ADORAGE Experience
Not only is the luxurious, clean scent of ADORAGE products addictive-the visible results are too. The products are designed to work synergistically to create the maximum effect.
Skin looks immediately fresh and healthy after using ADORAGE products just after 10 to 14 days. As the products begin to work in concert and the skin starts to show beautiful results, it's clear what with ADORAGE, you can ADORE your skin at any AGE.
