What is biomimicry? Science at the service of your skin

At MONO Skincare , our ambition is clear: to combine nature and science to offer your skin innovative, respectful, and effective skincare. Biomimicry is at the heart of this approach, a fascinating scientific method that draws direct inspiration from natural mechanisms to design high-performing and gentle skincare products.

What is biomimicry?

Biomimicry is a discipline that involves observing, understanding, and replicating biological processes and natural strategies to solve human problems. In the field of cosmetics, this means drawing inspiration from the systems and components of the skin itself or from plants to create formulations that respect and enhance the skin's natural balance.

This approach makes it possible to develop skincare products that work in harmony with the skin, stimulating its own protective, regenerative and hydrating capacities, without resorting to aggressive or artificial ingredients.

How does MONO Skincare incorporate biomimicry?

At MONO Skincare , we believe the future of skincare lies in the ability to mimic the intelligence of living organisms. That's why we integrate biomimicry into the heart of our formulas: by drawing inspiration from the skin's natural mechanisms and living ecosystems, we develop effective, gentle, and intelligent skincare.

Here's how our key ingredients embody this approach:

Inulin & Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide

These biomimetic prebiotics are present in several of our skincare products. They mimic the functions of the natural skin microbiota, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and rebalancing the skin's flora. The result: stronger, healthier skin that is more resistant to external aggressors.

Biosaccharide Gum-1 & Beta-Glucan

Inspired by polysaccharides naturally present in the skin, these ingredients deeply hydrate, soothe inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier. Beta-glucan , in particular, acts as a "biological shield" by mimicking the skin's natural defense mechanisms against irritation and premature aging.

Plankton Extract

Derived from marine biotechnology, this Arctic plankton extract works by biomimetically with skin cells to improve elasticity and firmness. It draws inspiration from the adaptive capabilities of extreme organisms to offer a unique restorative and protective action.

Rice powder (Oryza Sativa)

Used in our scrub, rice powder gently exfoliates while respecting the skin's integrity, mimicking the natural processes of cell renewal. Rich in antioxidants, it also supports skin nourishment and protection.

Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract)

A classic of plant biomimicry: this extract, rich in minerals, vitamins and enzymes, works in synergy with the skin to soothe, hydrate and repair, mirroring the natural healing process.

Why choose biomimetic skincare?

The main advantage of biomimetic skincare is its exceptional tolerance. By replicating what the skin already recognizes, they minimize the risk of irritation or allergies while maximizing benefits. These products also allow for better absorption of active ingredients, resulting in increased and lasting effectiveness.
