À quelle fréquence puis-je utiliser le Baume Gommage Radieux ?

Unefois par semaine suffit pour maintenir un grain de peau affiné et un éclat durable. Sa formule a été pensée pour respecter les peaux sensibles et sujettes aux sécheresses. La présence d’émollients et d’agents hydratants permet d’éviter l’effet de tiraillement souvent associé aux exfoliations mécaniques. En cas de peau très réactive, un usage mensuel est recommandé.

Ce gommage est-il adapté aux peaux sensibles ?

Oui. La perlite utilisée est une particule minérale sphérique, sélectionnée pour sa régularité et son pouvoir polissant non abrasif. Contrairement aux exfoliants aux grains irréguliers, elle limite les micro-lésions superficielles. Associée à une base riche en huiles végétales, glycérine et agents protecteurs, elle permet d’exfolier tout en préservant le film hydrolipidique. Le produit a été testé dermatologiquement sur peaux sensibles.

Ce baume peut-il aggraver la sécheresse de ma peau ?

Non. Sa particularité réside précisément dans son équilibre entre exfoliation et nutrition. La phase lipidique (beurre de karité, huiles végétales) compense immédiatement l’action mécanique. La glycérine contribue à maintenir l’hydratation de surface. La peau est exfoliée, mais demeure souple, confortable et protégée.

Quelle est la différence entre ce baume et un gommage classique ?

La majorité des gommages reposent uniquement sur une action abrasive. Ici, l’exfoliation est intégrée dans une base émolliente protectrice. L’objectif n’est pas de décaper, mais d’affiner progressivement. La texture baume transforme le geste en massage enveloppant. L’efficacité est maîtrisée, la tolérance optimisée — même pour les peaux sensibles.

Peut-on l’utiliser avant un sérum ou une crème ?

Oui, et c’est même recommandé. En éliminant les cellules mortes en surface, le Baume Gommage Radieux optimise la pénétration des soins appliqués ensuite. Il prépare la peau à recevoir un sérum ou une crème hydratante dans des conditions idéales.

La formule est-elle naturelle et végane ?

Le Baume Gommage Radieux est composé à 99,6 % d’ingrédients d’origine naturelle. Il est formulé sans ingrédients d’origine animale et s’inscrit dans notre exigence de naturalité, de traçabilité et de haute tolérance dermatologique.

A balm scrub?

Formulating a scrub is a delicate balancing act. Long viewed as a process that could sometimes be harsh, today’s scrubs strike the right balance between effective mechanical exfoliation and preserving the skin’s integrity and comfort.

COTTAN Radiant Exfoliating Balm combines five different particle sizes (natural volcanic perlite and hibiscus flower powder). Its multi-grain structure is designed for a thorough and precise exfoliation, with a lower concentration that is gentler on the skin. Fewer particles, greater effectiveness.

Its balm-like texture is designed to provide intense comfort upon application; it is massaged in slowly, transforming exfoliation into a true skincare ritual. The skin’s texture is refined, and fine lines fade without causing irritation. The skin is left smooth, comfortable, and radiant with health.

Baume Gommage Radieux COTTAN — formule et ingrédients (INCI)

Natural, vegan, made in France, no synthetic preservatives

"The Radiant Exfoliating Balm is based on controlled mechanical exfoliation, achieved through a combination of five complementary particle sizes of perlite and hibiscus flower powder. This combination allows for a more precise, thorough, and even exfoliation at a lower concentration, promoting an optimal balance between effectiveness and the preservation of the skin’s integrity.

Its emollient base, enriched with plant oils, glycerin, and naturally derived film-forming agents, immediately counteracts the exfoliating effect and maintains the skin’s comfort. The hydrolipidic film is preserved, and dryness is prevented.

Inspired by traditional recipes but formulated to meet today's exacting standards and tolerance levels, this formula combines visible effectiveness, gentleness, and modernity."

Advice and user satisfaction

Apply the Radiant Exfoliating Balm to clean, slightly damp skin. Its rich, enveloping texture is perfect for a slow, circular massage, gently focusing on areas prone to imperfections.

When massaged into the skin, perlite and hibiscus flower powder work in synergy to gently smooth out rough patches, while the emollient base maintains comfort. Rinsing leaves the skin supple, clean, and radiant—never stripped of its natural balance.

Using it once or twice a week is enough to maintain a radiant complexion, even on sensitive and dry skin.

Take a small amount, gently massage it in using circular motions, then rinse with lukewarm water before applying your moisturizer.

Baume Gommage Radieux COTTAN — histoire et savoir-faire de la maison

History and future

In the 19th century, exfoliating preparations were more about polishing than skincare. Often abrasive, they were designed to deliver immediate radiance, with no consideration for skin balance.

Dr. Cottan was one of the first to notice this, and to advance the discipline. By introducing the finest perlite, glycerin, and extracts of neem and hibiscus into his preparations, he transformed a corrective measure into a genuine skincare treatment: effective, soothing, and gentle on the skin.

In this lineage, the Radiant Exfoliating Balm continues this tradition by adding a new dimension: sensuality. Because a skincare product should never sacrifice pleasure for effectiveness—nor effectiveness for pleasure.
