Acacia Macrostachya, small tree of Western Africa, grows in hot and arid climatic conditions. Despite these extreme climatic conditions, the specie has adapted and developed a natural strategy to collect the water quantity required for its growth.

The skin’s function as a barrier depends on a dynamic equilibrium regulated by three complementary systems: increase water trapping, optimize its distribution and limit water loss.

It shows in vitro tests that Aqualicia can preserve skin’s moisture, restore Aquaporins and limit water loss by stimulating skin barrier synthesis.
