Franché Makes the Chiral Difference
2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

was awarded to three scientists for their research and findings in Chiral Technology. Chiral Technology is used exclusively in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure formulations are pure, extremely effective and produce the fewest side effects.

Franché skincare goes beyond what exists today in most skin products, by being one of the pioneers to utilize “Chirally Correct” ingredients.

Our positioning with paramedical skincare products and treatments, positions Franche’ as a niche market within the beauty industry, due to the fact that the majority of beauty products are aimed for mass-market usage. Under normal circumstances, companies do not purify ingredients due to the high cost involved, thus, potentially causing irritation, inflammation, and the signs of premature aging of the skin.

Chiral is the Greek word for hand. In the same way that our hands mirror each other, most skincare ingredients are chiral, meaning they have a” left” or a “right” chemical orientation. All body cells, including those in skin, recognize and prefer a specific orientation of an ingredient. This process is one of extreme precision. An ingredient attaching to a cell receptor is analogous to a hand in a glove.

For example, Vitamin C is 50% left-handed (L-ascorbic acid) and 50% right handed (D-ascorbic acid). Research has shown that only the “L” version is an effective antioxidant (and thus is “chirally correct”). The other half of the product ( if it is not “chirally correct”) is ineffective and can often be irritating, lead to a mismatch, not to mention a harmful reaction.

When a product is formulated properly, the skin receives the product and therefore performs better. Therefore, to be truly effective, a skincare formula must be “chirally correct” to restore purity and health on a molecular level.

MINERALS IN Franché® COSMETICS
Mineral cosmetics are good for all skin types at any age because minerals assist in helping to balance the skin's natural oils, helping to regulate sebum secretion and helping to prevent dehydration. Mineral cosmetics make the skin appear younger by reflecting light. Diagram 1 illustrates how one of the minerals in the Franché® formula, titanium dioxide, helps the skin to stay young by protecting from sun damage in this way. All of the minerals used in Franché® cosmetics are clean, non-comedogenic, very water-resistant and very long lasting. They also provide weightless concentrated color and coverage while defying humidity.

SPF IN Franché® COSMETICS
It is widely known today that a topical sunscreen is an essential part of the daily skin care regime to protect against damaging solar radiation which causes premature aging. Ultraviolet exposure from the sun's rays is classified as UVA and UVB. UVA rays deeply penetrate the skin, generating free radical production that leads to photo aging and some skin cancers. Traditional chemical sunscreens focus only on UVB rays. The minerals in Franché® cosmetics provide a full spectrum, UVA and UVB, sun protection factor of 20 in a "very water resistant" formulation. Diagram 2 shows how Franché®'s zinc oxide in the form of Z-COTE® acts as an inorganic, physical sunblock screening all UVB and practically all UVA radiation. This physical, mineral sunblock is preferred over chemical sunblocks, especially for people with sensitive skin. Franché® provides something new under the sun in a down-to-earth formula.

VITAMINS IN Franché® COSMETICS
What was once theory, is now scientific fact. Vitamins offer tangible results to the skin often seen as a glow or boost of elasticity. This is especially true for skin 40 years and older. The cumulative effect can be smoother, clearer skin. Vitamins A and E work as synergistic antioxidants quenching free radicals to protect from and to correct body tissue damage seen as premature aging. Vitamin A is a normalizer to balance any type of skin with the ability to penetrate the skin and increase its elasticity. Vitamin E is a natural preservative, anti-oxidant, and moisturizer. Both vitamins A and E are freeze-dried onto the liposome-coated mica found in Franché® cosmetics. Contact with the skin's natural moisture rehydrates these vitamins as illustrated by Diagram 3. Once released, these two beautifying vitamins in Franché® cosmetics provide the proper environment for correction of skin damage due to photoaging. The skin looks plumper, younger fresher...Franché®!

COLOR CONCEPTS
The Franché® Line contains versatile color basics. The identical flawless formula of the Face, Eye, and Lip & Cheek Color allows for color blending from all compacts to create custom color. The following three-color concepts explain a logical approach to the use of cosmetic color on the face.

* Most women have learned this concept in building a wardrobe. Dark color makes areas look smaller and light color makes areas appear larger. The same concept holds true in makeup application. Examples: Light shades highlight when applied in the center of lips to create a full pout. Dark color applied below cheekbone contours the face.
* Warm color tones reflect light vs. muted shades that absorb light. Examples: Goldens, apricots, and warm browns brighten deep set eyes, enlarge small eyelids and smooth crepey skin texture. Greys, ash browns, and blue-based colors contour to recede prominent brow bones.
* Complementary colors found opposite one another on the Color Wheel, neutralize each other when mixed together and enhance one another when placed side by side. Example: Green eyes surrounded by red-based warm brown or purple eyelid shadow appear greener.

In conclusion, the perfect custom color to enhance every feature can be created using color logic, so makeup is demystified. (i.e. blue-violet blood vessels seen through thin under eye tissue are neutralized by applying a mixture of peachy brightener and yellow-toned concealer.)

Testimony

2009-12-21T19:44:00.000-08:00

美國新奧爾良
Terri Schwall太太

敬啟者：
本人撰寫此信的目的，是希望把我使用Franché礦物彩妝的親身經歷告知所有讀者。在今年七月，我接受了上眼皮和下眼皮的整形手術，我同時接受了眼部以下的脂肪組織去除手術。我做手術那天是星期二，於四天後我再與McMillin醫生會面。

我的情緒依然十分低落，甚至比我所想像的更甚。我雙眼的四周圍著很深的眼圈，既紫又綠亦黑的。我調查了很多不同種類的化妝品。我的水療中心建議我找 Franché的專業化妝師看看。跟Franché的化妝師會面後，我對礦物彩妝作出研究，並打算試用，且看它能於整形手術後的我發揮甚麼功效。

它所發揮的功效與事先說明的完全吻合。它不但完全遮蓋了我眼部嚴重的挫傷，它甚至令我看似不曾做過整形手術。使用Franché產品的方法亦非常簡單，我利用非常柔軟的化妝掃，把遮暇霜塗上眼部四周及眼的底部。我又塗上粉底及胭脂。我亦以Franché的眉筆輕輕的在眉上塗畫。坦白的承認，我有些擔心卸妝的問題，我擔心卸妝會有困難，即使化妝師曾對我說我可以很輕易地卸除臉上的化妝。結果，我使用了Franché的三合一潔面卸妝泡泡(3-in-1 Cleansing Cream Mousse)，不費吹灰之力我便卸除去臉上的化妝了。我再以此溫和的清潔眼部皮膚，眼部周圍的化妝品亦立即去除了。

這產品的功效真的一言難盡。我的整形醫生亦被打動並即時要求向Franché的代表預約。McMillin醫生將會於九月份開始採用Franché系列的產品。

我用左FRANCHÉ產品已經有一個月多, 感覺唔錯, 我覺得最犀利既產品就係BALANCING ACT, 因為佢做到十分好既退紅效果, IT’S SO IMPRESSIVE

我每天早晚都會用3-in-1 Cleansing Crème Mousse, 呢隻洗面泡泡可以去死表, 用左一星期, 不知不覺面既顏色都變白左, 洗完面就噴兩下SEA MIST, 感覺好舒服好清爽, 之後再用Crème Balancing Act Moisturizer(Day Cream) / Créme Revive (Night Cream)

另外, 我有用GENTLE FACIAL REFINER作PEELING, 用後感覺去左角質層, 會有少許脫皮現象, 不過係正常既!

總體來說, 用過FRANCHÉ產品之後, 感覺係好FRESHING, 完全唔需要擔心有反常現象, 好放心試用

TREATMENT-WEEK 1

岩岩完成左第一次CHIRALLY CORRECT TREATMENT, 感覺好痛, 針清完, 成塊面好似衝滿血. 第二日起身都係會紅腫, 之後我立即用BALANCING ACT就好好多. 再過多一日就開始見到額上既暗粒平左好多, 好開心終於可以擺脫一直跟左我一年有多既暗粒, 當然要多謝美容師VICKY咁用心機幫我對付佢地!

TREATMENT-WEEK 2

做完TREATMENT, 比較乾, 可能天氣有影響, 脫左好多皮, 今次仲紅D添, 真係有D唔想出街, 因為怕被人覺得自己唔正常, 係女仔都唔鐘意自己皮膚差, 所以皮膚唔好都會令我失去左一定既自信心, 所以我決心要整好佢

TREATMENT-WEEK 3

VICKY幫我做左個NUVO RICH MASK, 好水潤, 感覺塊面冇咁TIGHT, 而家塊面有好印, 希望可以慢慢減退啦!
