"It is a cream known as evanescent, i.e. having the characteristic to disappear quickly with the application while developing a marked softening effect. It is obtained by an original style of formulation. They are very emollient, softening, and hydrating creams. The effect of cutaneous hydration is obtained by a higher concentration of glycerin, which forms a wet microfilm on the skin's surface, which completes the emollient’s “non-fatty” effect. This product, although highly emollient, leaves no greasy, shiny, or sticky residue. Make-up can be applied immediately. The moisturizing effect is long-lasting. Non-greasy filmogenic emollients complete this action: jojoba wax, bioalkane of natural origin, coconut oil derivative, precisely dosed.."

A perfect symbol of the treasures of French cosmetic history, Doctor Cottan's evanescent cream offers a completely new approach to moisturizing, with an exceptional galenic and a very natural composition.
This pearly and unctuous cream will start by slightly lathering on your skin during the "playtime" to then suddenly disappear, fade away (a phenomenon from which it gets its so pretty name) and guarantee a soft and silky finish, sublimating your complexion.
After your beauty vinegar or serum, massage gently until evanescence. Avoid eye contour. And if you feel like it, your skin is ready for a touch of makeup.
You probably know about the cold cream, a rich cream with a fatty base, whose origin goes back to the famous Galen's cerat, father of pharmacology, in the 2nd century A-D.
But few remember that in the 19th century, it went hand in hand with the vanishing cream, also sometimes referred to as snow cream. This light formula of type oil in water, had the particularity of suddenly becoming fluid upon application, until it disappeared completely. It deposited on the skin a fine and durable emollient veil, giving it a silky, non-greasy sensation. Parisian women used to use their "vanishing cream" during the day, while the "cold cream" was more commonly used at night.
Combining strong naturalness, great efficiency and perfect tolerance for sensitive skin, this more than 100 year old innovation, reinterpreted in the light of modern science, without betraying anything of its elegance, will be able to respond in such a modern way to your most delightful expectation : the radiance and comfort of your skin.
