Discover the power of vegan retinol: luminous skin without irritation
on Jun 08 2025
The retinol of the future is natural: transform your skin with sea fennel from the Île de Ré
Retinol has been a star ingredient in skincare for years thanks to its effectiveness in combating wrinkles, improving texture, and revitalizing the face. However, not all skin types tolerate this potent vitamin A derivative. Irritation, flaking, and excessive sensitivity are common side effects, especially in sensitive skin.
Today, biocosmetics offers an equally powerful and much gentler alternative: plant-based retinol .
What is retinol and why do we need an alternative?
Conventional retinol works by stimulating cell renewal, increasing collagen production, and visibly improving the skin's appearance. But its potency can also be its Achilles' heel: many people with sensitive skin should avoid it.
The SIALBÉ difference
At SIALBÉ, we developed an active extract called Samphira Retinol , obtained from sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum) , sustainably harvested on the Île de Ré. This active ingredient is certified by COSMOS ECOCERT as organic and is the result of environmentally responsible practices.
And what makes it so special? Unlike synthetic retinol, plant-based retinol offers the same dermatological benefits — wrinkle reduction, improved texture, even skin tone, brighter skin, and less visible pores — without causing irritation or inflammation.
Biocosmetics with purpose: Berry Boost
Berry Boost is not just a vegan retinol serum. It's a synergy of dermoactive ingredients designed to deliver a complete regeneration experience:
Essential amino acids such as arginine, glycine, and alanine stimulate natural collagen production, combat sagging, and improve elasticity. The result: hydrated, firm, and visibly smoother skin.
Extracts of wild strawberry, grape, and raspberry , rich in antioxidants and vitamins. These active ingredients brighten the skin, protect it from oxidative stress, and even out skin tone.
Urea, fructose, citrate and sodium PCA , powerful natural humectants that help retain moisture, strengthen the skin barrier and leave a velvety texture with that healthy glow we love so much.
