When applied in a targeted way, they help improve the skin’s appearance and comfort on a daily basis.

At Gemology, trace elements are at the heart of the skincare approach. The brand’s expertise is based on cutaneous oligotherapy and the use of minerals and natural stones, selected for their affinity with the skin and their ability to support its essential functions.

Why are trace elements essential for facial skin?

In this way, they support the skin’s overall balance and help preserve its even, luminous appearance.

Trace elements each play a specific role in facial skin. Gemology has identified several key minerals, integrated into its skincare products to address specific skin problems.

Zinc: balance, soothing and imperfections

Magnesium: cellular energy and skin comfort

Copper: radiance, protection and collagen support

Copper plays a major role in antioxidant protection and collagen synthesis. It helps preserve radiance, even skin tone and the quality of skin structure. Malachite, rich in copper, is at the heart of Gemology skincare products dedicated to dull skin or skin exposed to environmental aggression.
