Respectful of the benefits of nature, we have implemented ethical and sustainable methods to offer long-lasting solutions.

OUR METHODS

Sea cucumbers from sustainable aquaculture
The crystal-clear lagoons of French Polynesia are among the most pristine ecosystems in the world. At the heart of these pure waters lies our aquaculture farm, comprising a hatchery and a nursery. Here, we raise juvenile Holothuria fuscogilva and Holothuria whitmaei, commercially valuable species classified as "endangered" by the IUCN. Furthermore, we maintain a strict ban on antibiotics and chemical treatments that could negatively impact the environment and consumer health.
Natural growth
After a few months in tanks, we place the animals in lagoon enclosures spread across several Polynesian islands to promote their natural growth. Sea cucumbers feed on the sediments found on the seabed. They thus contribute to the balance of the ecosystem in which they live, while also providing the calcium, phosphorus, and nitrogenous salts necessary for the growth of algae and corals.
Traceability

After a few years, trained local fishermen harvest the specimens by hand. To ensure complete transparency, we meticulously record the location and date of each harvest, guaranteeing full traceability from sea to finished product.

In addition, our processing methods, inspired by traditional techniques, are scientifically optimized to preserve the nutritional quality of our raw materials.

Scientific research

Drawing inspiration from the history of our founder, our multidisciplinary team of scientists aims to rigorously demonstrate the virtues of the active molecules present in sea cucumber, traditionally recognized by the Chinese pharmacopoeia.

Our goal is to develop effective products with scientifically proven claims. To achieve this, our research includes a complete chemical characterization of the active ingredients to identify and quantify the active compounds. It also includes in vitro enzymatic tests to evaluate the biological efficacy of these molecules on specific cellular processes, as well as proteomic analyses to understand the mechanisms of action of the substances upon contact with the skin.

Ultimately, these combined scientific approaches aim to comprehensively demonstrate the beneficial effects of our active ingredients, both on health and beauty.
