Sylvain is a lover of wood, especially oak, in all its forms. In 2000, he did not just inherit the family sawmill, or buy a high-end cooperage in 2006.

Since 2010 he has set up an agri-food science laboratory specializing in oenology, then fascinated by the longevity of his favorite tree, wanted to unravel the secrets of long life of these oaks twice centenary. And so in 2016 was born the La Chênaie brand, an anti-aging cosmetic line.

In the oak, everything is good

It is from a particular essence of oak, the Quercus Petraea, that are extracted anti-aging molecules exceptional. All live parts are exploited, leaves, bark, merrain (soft heart of wood).

By analyzing them closely the researchers have discovered overpowering anti - aging properties: exceptional antioxidants (in the bark especially), anti - collagenase powers to protect, firm, reconstitute elastic fibers, anti - hyaluronidase properties, water so plump the traits, and anti-tyrosinase, to protect the color of leaves and our skin from stains!
In 2013, a patent is filed: the Quercus Petraea Concentrate.

And to spare the ecosystem of the skin the molecules benefit from extraction with water and glycerin, all formulas being obviously without preservative (glycerine playing an excellent role anti bacterial), phthalate free, GMO-free etc. .

What we like at La Chênaie
