Fresh'Ka®

Organic strawberry leaves are sourced from certified organic farms in western France, a region recognized for its rich, fertile soils and mild climate. Local growers cultivate strawberries using organic referential that prioritize soil health and biodiversity, strictly avoiding synthetic chemicals and pesticides. The careful management of these family-run farms reflects a tradition of environmentally responsible agriculture in Pays de la Loire and Auvergne regions. Harvesting is done by hand to ensure the best botanical quality and to preserve the integrity of each leaf. This fully organic approach guarantees an authentic ingredient, traceable from field to finished product, and ideally suited for high-quality formulations.

Proprietary preclinical studies

-Brightening activity (in tubo):
Its ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity, a key enzyme involved in skin pigmenttaion, was assessed in tubo, which demonstrated dose-dependent tyrosinase inhibitory activity. This demonstrates that Fresh’Ka® combats hyperpigmentation and helps maintain an even skin tone, thus brightening and illuminating the skin.

-Anti-aging activity (in vitro):
An in vitro  study was conducted on human dermal fibroblasts treated with Fresh’Ka® in order to evaluate the MMP-1 and TIMP-1 secretion. After 48 hours of treatment, secreted protein profiling demonstrated that it reduces key aging proteins, by decreasing MMP-1 synthesis and increasing TIMP-1, its inhibitor, helping to prevent the first signs of aging.

Clinical study

A trial evaluating skin brightness and texture, performed by a dermatologist using a non-invasive method, was carried out on 20 women with a dull complexion and/or dilated pores. The women applied a cream containing 0.5% Fresh’Ka® to their faces twice daily for 28 days. After 28 days, the results showed that Fresh’Ka® had effectively improved skin radiance and refined skin texture.
