VALAIS EDELWEISS Edelweiss extract has many benefjcial effects on the skin: it has antioxidant, moisturising, astringent, sof- tening and anti-ageing properties. Edelweiss is a high mountain fmower which grows at altitudes of between 2,000 and 3,000 metres. It is highly prized for its anti-ageing properties. Products made using Edelweiss regenerate and offer effective protection for the skin against harmful external factors (wind, cold, pollution). The fmower leaves the skin relaxed, nourished, smooth, supple and revitalised. It re-establishes the natural protective functions of the skin gives it a more youthful appearance. 6 LA NATURE A PORTEE DE MAIN 2014

VALAIS APRICOT The apricots used to produce Valeze/Eve creams are harvested in Valais when ripe, between July and September. Mr Vital Pralong, an apricot producer in Salins, just above Sion, carefully selects the fjnest sun-ripened fruits. The historic «Luizet» variety is harvested and taken directly to the internationally-renowned Aigle labora- tory, so the natural extracts and apricot oil can be prepared on site. This process guarantees the very fjnest quality of ingredients. Apricot kernel oil is exceptionally rich in vitamin A and linoleic acid. It is the richest oil in polyunsaturated acids, helping it to nourish, hydrate, regenerate and soften the skin. Apricot kernel oil is a highly effective treatment for sagging, tired, and wrinkled skin (face, neck and bust). Thanks to its very light texture, it is easily absorbed and does not leave an oily fjlm on the skin. Apricot revitalises, fortifjes, nourishes, tones, softens and delays the effects of ageing on the skin, and res- tores your radiant complexion.Apricot extracts and apricot oil have long been renowned for their cosmetic properties. 7 LA NATURE A PORTEE DE MAIN 2014

SUN CARE RANGE SUNBLOCK SPF 50 PA +++ For the fjrst time, the prized Valais apricot is being used in an all-new range of 100% Swiss sun protection pro- ducts. In fact, following on from a body care range launched in 2011 and a facial care range launched in 2012, Valeve is proud to bring the Eve sun protection range to its many loyal customers. It has taken several months of very hard work to come up with a range guaranteed to provide a high degree of protection against the sun’s UVA-B rays, yet one which observes the brand’s core principles: to be envi- ronmentally friendly, provide something easy to obtain, and something which is ethically sound. Ever free of phthalates, parabens, mineral oils, and palm oil, we have also sought to prevent the nanoparticles found in many mineral fjlters. Accordingly, we have decided to use organic fjlters, which are scientifjcally proven to be effective and harmless. Fully aware of how important it is to protect against UVA rays, responsible for prema- ture photo aging of the skin, we have integrated special fjlters, which are also capable of forming an effective screen against UVA rays. Adding Valais apricot stone oil and fruit extracts, as well as vitamins B3 and E, and pro-vitamin B5 results in products of optimum quality, guaranteed to be highly effective. As their ingredients offer a high degree of tolerance, children may use the Eve sun protection range. Two products are available in the Eve sun protection range, with a SPF protection factor of 50: SUNBLOCK FACIAL CARE Facial care, with a creamy texture, guaranteeing a very high degree of protection to sensitive areas, which, as well as moisturising the skin, prevents it from ageing prematurely due to exposure to the sun. SUNBLOCK SPRAY Easy-to-apply fmuid spray. It also contains moisturising and anti-ageing principles. 12 LA NATURE A PORTEE DE MAIN 2014
