Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate
Ascorbic acid is the scientific name for vitamin C, and vitamin C is really great because it's one of the most powerful natural antioxidants. Unfortunately, it is a nightmare to stabilize in a cosmetic formula, as it is an extremely fragile element. The story behind it is long, but remember that the more effective an antioxidant is, the more unstable and fragile it is.
For vitamin C to preserve itself in the jar while waiting to land on your skin, it needs a stable form. To do this, it is combined with a “magnesium phosphate”, described in chemistry as a “protecting group” (like a kind of Superman). This gives Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, a protected form of vitamin C, which allows you to incorporate the latter into your cosmetic product, while waiting for you to benefit from its wonderful virtues.

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 bad! Did you know that our Full Care oil was the first beard oil in the world to receive the Cosmos Nat label? In addition to being the first dry oil in its category, we will let you discover the benefits for yourselves.
