C15-C19 alkane

Alkanes are saturated carbon chains, basically carbon atoms in the shape of a pearl necklace. Concretely, they are used in cosmetics to constitute an oily base and to dissolve fatty compounds, like active ingredients. The C15-C19 alkane (i.e. a mixture of chains of 15 and 19 carbon atoms) is used as a replacement for silicones (not dangerous, but bad for the environment because not biodegradable). It thus brings softness and smoothness to the formula. Of vegetable origin, the C15-C19 alkane is quickly biodegradable, in addition to being completely harmless for human and environmental health!

Natural ? Yes. Boring? Never !

Between us gentlemen, aren't you fed up with products with synthetic odors and dubious compositions? Do you want to go back to nature, with healthy formulas that preserve your beauty capital?

We do too, which is why Monsieur BARBIER has rethought the design of products for men in order to imagine the most natural products possible, by carefully choosing each ingredient and each active ingredient, for an uncompromising balance between effectiveness, sensoriality and naturalness. Naturalness, yes, but not at the expense of style or pleasure.

In this approach, Monsieur BARBIER is one of the only brands for men to be members of COSMEBIO and subject to ECOCERT audits, for its Cosmos Nat labeled products. And all of our products are free from controversial ingredients, or ingredients of animal origin. Not even hurt !
