Meet Feuillete!
Feuillete was founded with a mission to “create clean, nontoxic, high performance skincare products to highlight your natural glow, and empower you to love the skin you’re in.” The brand’s inaugural products are the Smooth Water Essence, a pulpy, pampering toner and Fresh Intensive Cream, a wonderfully lightweight gel-cream for oily skin — or all skin types in summer.
“We consider skincare a lifestyle, not a standard. We understand that in today’s modern world, life can be hectic and time is of the essence. We want to serve as a reminder to pause from your surroundings to breathe, make yourself a priority, know that you are amazing, and to inspire you to do what you love.” - Feuillete
The Feuillete Fresh Intensive Cream is a treasure trove of pro-skin health goodness.
The formula is infused with a pair of fermented actives, including Panax Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate and Schizosaccharomyces Ferment Filtrate. My only wish is that the Feuillete chemist had replaced water with a fermented solution instead. But hey, you can’t always have your cupcake and eat it too. (Is that how the saying goes?!)
There’s lots to enjoy including brightening Niacinamide at perhaps 5% of the formula. The Fresh Intensive Cream also contains multiple humectants, making it ideal as a summer moisturizer, including Sodium Hyaluronate, Centella Asiatica Extract and Beta-Glucan.
I get all tickled when I see a brand was wise enough to include Beta-Glucan in a formula. It’s a skin health superstar.
According to the experts on the Paula’s Choice Research Team,
Beta-glucan is a “polysaccharide sugar derived from yeast or oats. It has some antioxidant properties and is a skin-soothing agent. Beta-glucan is considered an excellent ingredient for improving the look of redness and other signs of sensitive skin.”
Feuillete’s Fresh Intensive Cream is a veritable cocktail of actives that help treat multiple skin concerns, including dull skin, oily skin, pore-prone skin — and particularly reactive and sensitive skin. Do you see yourself in any of that? I know I do!
On top of all of that is the fact that the Fresh Intensive Cream is simply a pleasure to use. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the texture is truly wonderful. It reminds me a bit of Laneige’s popular Water Bank Hydro Gel moisturizer.
I’m intrigued by Feuillete and what the brand has in store. By the way, in case you’re curious, feuilleté is the French word for “layered” — something every skincare aficionado loves doing with their products. Check the brand out on their website and get layering.
