Mussofi cream: The complete expression of our patented innovation

Our face cream is not an ordinary cosmetic product. It's the full version of our patent Registered in France, formulated to give your skin the intense nourishment and protection it needs.

Unlike "universal" creams adapted at the last minute, our formula incorporates the 4 patented active ingredients in synergy (Ascorbyl Glucoside, Shikimic Acid, Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide and Sodium Hyaluronate) while adding a exceptionally rich fatty phase designed specifically for black and mixed-race skin.

An ultra-nourishing formula highly concentrated in active ingredients

With With 97.8% naturally derived ingredients , our face cream concentrates nature's best active ingredients with a lipid (oily) phase of over 25% for intense and lasting nourishment.

Unique feature: The 4 patented active ingredients work in synergy with African oils and butters (shea, coconut oil) to combine anti-blemish efficacy AND deep nourishment.


🌍 Understanding your skin's specific needs

The 3 challenges of black and mixed-race skin

Our patent explains three major issues identified scientifically:

1. Severe dehydration despite the apparent "shine"

Black and mixed-race skin possesses a denser stratum corneum and one thicker dermis , which facilitates cell renewal and makes them less susceptible to aging. But to ensure effective perspiration and regulate body temperature in hot climates (an evolutionary legacy from our African ancestors), this skin... They dehydrate extremely , even in a temperate climate.

Result : A feeling of tightness, a complexion that appears greyish, an uneven texture and an impression of "tired" skin despite the apparent lack of wrinkles.

2. Reactive and persistent hyperpigmentation

Darker skin naturally produces more melanin (which protects it from the sun), but it reacts in a different way disproportionate to any aggression: insect bite, shaving, acne, inflammation, irritation.

Each skin irritation = a persistent brown spot which can last for months or years. This is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation , almost non-existent on light skin but frequent and visible on dark skin.

3. A dull, greyish complexion in winter

The accumulation of dead cells on the surface of the skin (a natural result of cell renewal) creates a greyish veil that masks the natural radiance and luminosity of dark skin.


🔬 Our patent: A scientific innovation at the service of your skin

The patented synergistic combination

In a way Unexpectedly , our research team observed that the precise combination of these four assets allowed for:

 Relieve the tension of dry skin resulting from intense dehydration of dark skin

 Improve hydration status skin from "dehydrated" to "less dehydrated" through regular application

 Reduce hyperpigmentation spots safe and non-irritating

This discovery, combined with a exceptional oily phase , justified the patent application for a comprehensive approach to black and mixed-race skin.


💧 Understanding the structure of our cream

Emulsion: the marriage of water and oil

What is a cream?

A cream is a oil-in-water emulsion (O/W), that is, a stable mixture of an aqueous phase (water + water-soluble actives) dispersed in a lipid phase (oils + butters).

Why this structure?

The aqueous phase provides the 4 patented water-soluble active ingredients (vitamins, shikimic acid, prebiotics, hyaluronic acid) which treat skin problems.

The lipid phase provides the intense nutrition and the durable protection necessary for dehydrated skin.

The two phases do not naturally mix: emulsifiers act as a bridge to create this smooth and comfortable texture.


💧 The aqueous phase: Hydration and patented active ingredients

Demineralized Water - Aqua

The ultra-pure base of our emulsion

Why demineralized water?

Tap water contains limescale, chlorine, and minerals that can destabilize formulas or irritate sensitive skin. We use water purified to ensure that only our patented assets are active.

His role:

  • The base of the emulsion that carries the water-soluble active ingredients

  • Solvent for the 4 patented active ingredients

  • Creates a light and pleasant texture upon application


Organic Glycerin

Certified organic natural moisturizer in high concentration

Origin : 100% organic vegetable, obtained by saponification of certified organic vegetable oils.

What is a humectant?

A humectant It is a molecule capable of capturing water from the atmosphere and retaining it in the upper layers of the skin. It's like an invisible sponge that keeps your skin hydrated from within.

Why a high concentration?

Our cream contains a substantial concentration of glycerin to compensate for the severe dehydration characteristic of dark skin identified in our patent.

His role:

  • Powerful humectant : captures atmospheric water and retains it in the epidermis

  • Occlusive property : limits the evaporation of skin water

  • Softens and smooths the skin

  • Improves the texture of the cream

  • Enhances the hydrating action of hyaluronic acid

  • Certified organic (57% organic content of the cream)


Ascorbyl Glucoside - Ascorbyl Glucoside

Stabilized vitamin C: the star anti-dark spot active ingredient

Origin : Stabilized derivative of vitamin C of biotechnological origin.

Why this active ingredient in a nourishing cream?

The face cream offers a daily application of the anti-dark spot treatment. Ascorbyl Glucoside allows you to combine intense nutrition AND active treatment of hyperpigmentation.

What is stabilized vitamin C?

Pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is exceptionally effective but oxidizes within hours. Ascorbyl glucoside is a form protected which remains stable in the cream and is transformed into pure vitamin C upon contact with your skin via the enzyme α-glucosidase naturally present in your epidermis.

The 4 patented actions:

1. Anti-hyperpigmentation spot action

  • Inhibits tyrosinase (the enzyme that produces melanin)

  • Lightens existing melanin in brown spots

  • Visibly reduces blemishes after 12 weeks of daily use

2. Anti-aging action

  • Stimulates collagen synthesis (firming protein)

  • Stimulates the synthesis of natural hyaluronic acid

  • Improves wrinkles and skin texture

  • Firms and smooths the skin

3. Protective antioxidant action

  • Neutralizes free radicals (molecules that accelerate aging)

  • Protects against UV damage

  • Protects cellular DNA

  • Anti-pollution shield

4. Moisturizing action

  • Strengthens the skin barrier

  • Improves the skin's ability to retain water

  • It complements the action of glycerin and hyaluronic acid.

Clinical results: Study on 46 women applying an Ascorbyl Glucoside-based lotion twice a day for 12 weeks: significant reduction in spots and improvement in radiance score.


Shikimic Acid - Shikimic Acid

The gentle exfoliant: the "radiance" active ingredient of our patent

Origin : 100% natural, extracted from the fruit of star anise ( Illicium verum ), a medicinal plant from the ancient Chinese pharmacopoeia.

Why exfoliate in a cream?

Applying an exfoliant cream twice daily (rather than using an aggressive scrub once a week) offers a gentle and continuous exfoliation which gradually reveals the natural radiance without causing irritation or inflammation.

The problem with classic AHAs

Traditional fruit acids (glycolic acid, lactic acid) can be too aggressive for reactive black and mixed-race skin, triggering inflammation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

The patented solution: shikimic acid

Exfoliation 24% higher than glycolic acid while being much less irritating . After 24 hours, the area treated with glycolic acid was irritated and flaky, while the area treated with Shikimic Acid was normal.

The 5 patented actions:

1. Gentle and effective exfoliation

  • Removes surface keratinocytes (dead cells)

  • Smoothes the skin texture

  • Reveals the radiance of the complexion masked by dead skin cells

  • Prepares the skin to better receive other active ingredients

2. Antibacterial and anti-acne action

  • Inhibits Propionibacterium acnes

  • Prevents imperfections

  • So it prevents post-acne spots

3. Anti-inflammatory action

  • Soothes irritations

  • Reduces redness

  • Prevents inflammatory hyperpigmentation

4. Anti-enzymatic action

  • Inhibits lipases (enzymes that break down lipids)

  • Reduces the production of free fatty acids

  • Controls sebum

5. Deodorizing action

  • Reduces body odor

  • Inhibits the enzymes responsible

Certification: Cosmos approved, 100% natural origin.


Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide - Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide

The protective prebiotic: the "balancing" active ingredient of our patent

Origin : Prebiotic of biotechnological origin obtained by enzymatic biocatalysis from plant substrates.

What is a prebiotic?

A prebiotic is a specific "food" for the good bacteria on your skin. Unlike probiotics (which provide live bacteria), prebiotics selectively feeds the beneficial bacteria already present.

Why protect the microbiota in an anti-blemish cream?

THE skin microbiota (The billions of microorganisms on your skin) are the invisible guardians of your skin's health. When this balance is disrupted, the skin becomes reactive and inflamed, imperfections multiply, and each imperfection can become a future dark spot on dark skin.

Our patent includes this prebiotic to ensure that the anti-blemish treatment does not disrupt your skin's ecosystem.

How does Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide work?

Its molecular structure with specific bonds α-(1-6) and α-(1-2) It can only be digested quickly by good bacteria. It's like a buffet accessible only to select guests.

The 3 patented actions:

1. Bioselective substrate for the microbiota

  • It preferentially feeds commensal (beneficial) bacteria: Lactobacillus pentosus , Micrococcus kristinae , Corynebacterium xerosis

  • Does NOT feed opportunistic bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus , Propionibacterium acnes

  • Does NOT encourage the growth of yeasts ( Candida albicans , Malassezia furfur )

2. Rebalancing the microbial landscape

  • +21% Actinobacteria (producers of natural antibiotics)

  • +36% for Firmicutes

  • +146% of Staphylococcus epidermidis (protects against pathogens)

  • Restores the skin's natural balance

3. Strengthening natural defenses

  • Stimulates the production of antimicrobial peptides:

    • hBD2 (β-defensin 2): +53%

    • hBD3 (β-defensin 3): +153%

  • Activates innate skin immunity

  • Provides lasting protection for the skin's ecosystem

Certification: Ecocert Cosmos approved, suitable for sensitive and atopic skin.


Sodium Hyaluronate - Sodium Hyaluronate

The "molecular sponge": the hydrating active ingredient of our patent

Origin : High molecular weight hyaluronic acid obtained by biotechnological fermentation from French wheat grown in Champagne-Ardenne.

Why is hyaluronic acid crucial for dark skin?

Our patent identifies the severe dehydration as a major concern for dark skin. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid is the most powerful moisturizer in cosmetics: it can absorb 1000 times its weight in water .

What is "high molecular weight"?

THE molecular weight measures the size of molecules. A high molecular weight (1-1.4 MDa) means that the molecules are very large : they cannot penetrate the skin and remain on the surface.

Is this a problem? No, that's exactly what we're looking for! By remaining on the surface, hyaluronic acid forms a Invisible protective film which traps water.

The 3 patented actions:

1. Formation of a moisturizing film

  • Remains on the surface of the epidermis (molecules too large to penetrate)

  • It forms an invisible veil that retains the water.

  • Protective "second skin" effect

2. Limitation of transepidermal water loss (TEWL)

  • TEWL Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) = loss of water through the skin

  • The hyaluronic acid film acts as a barrier

  • The water remains trapped in your epidermis

  • Your skin stays hydrated for longer

3. Long-lasting hydration for up to 24 hours

  • Maintaining skin moisture balance

  • Soft, bouncy and comfortable skin

  • Relieves the pulling sensations identified in our patent

  • "Baby skin" effect

Certifications: Cosmos approved, Halal, suitable for vegans.


🥥 The lipid phase: African nutrition and intense protection

Why is the fat phase so important?

Our cream contains more than 25% lipid phase (oils, butters, emulsifiers and fatty texturizing agents). This is an exceptionally high concentration for an oil-in-water cream, justified by the severe dehydration identified in our patent and the cultural importance of nutrition in African beauty traditions.
