Why Choose a Natural Beauty Routine?
Convinced of the benefits of nature for your skin, PATYKA Advanced Research invites you to discover or rediscover the virtues of organic cosmetics. These formulas favour pure ingredients, plant waxes and oils, as well as precious raw materials, for clear skin and a radiant complexion. What’s more, they contain no chemical or synthetic ingredients considered harmful in the long term, either for you or for the planet.
With PATYKA, take a closer look at your beauty ritual and choose the natural skincare products that are right for you.
By incorporating natural beauty products into your daily routine, your skin can enjoy the benefits of nature while you make a more environmentally responsible choice.
For healthy-looking skin
The epidermis is a living organism in direct contact with our environment. It acts as a protective shield against external aggressors and direct physical impacts, such as knocks and friction, while also helping to protect the skin from chemical agents. It also plays an important role in supporting the body’s immune system by preventing microorganisms from penetrating the skin.
In fact, a significant proportion of what we apply to our skin can be absorbed by the body. It is therefore important to pay close attention to the ingredients in the products.
To Protect the Environment
As well as being true beauty allies for your skin, natural and organic skincare products are also respectful of our beautiful planet.
When certified by a certification body or an official label, the production of these skincare products is highly regulated and must meet specific criteria: only non-polluting processes are permitted, their formulas must contain at least 95% natural ingredients, and packaging must use as little energy as possible and be easily recyclable.
Organic skincare products are made from natural raw materials sourced from Organic Agriculture, meaning that they contain no traces of synthetic chemical ingredients, pesticides or GMOs.
Furthermore, these natural products are not tested on animals, as required by European regulations, and exclude ingredients of animal origin, except those naturally produced by animals, such as honey, beeswax and milk.
Subject to very strict specifications, a certified organic beauty routine must meet the requirements of specific certifications and labels (Ecocert, Cosmébio and others), guaranteeing natural, high-quality formulations.
Towards an Organic Beauty Routine
How to Choose the Right Products?
First of all, it is important to know how to choose and use the right products: skincare with healthy, as-natural-as-possible formulations, whose ingredients are made from natural raw materials and undergo minimal processing in order to preserve their benefits. It is then essential to eliminate ingredients that may compromise the quality of your skin and the environment.
Establishing an organic beauty routine can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. Give yourself time to gradually make the transition to natural cosmetics. For example, start by replacing one product at a time.

PATYKA Skincare Range Formulations
PATYKA Advanced Research is committed to offering natural and effective beauty solutions to women who want to care for their skin while protecting the environment.
PATYKA was one of the first cosmetic brands in the world to receive organic certification from Ecocert, in 2002. Every PATYKA skincare product, without exception, is certified organic by Ecocert and complies with the Cosmébio Charter. They contain at least 95% ingredients of natural origin, at least 95% of the plant-based ingredients in each product are organic, and at least 20% of the ingredients come from Organic Agriculture. All chemical and synthetic ingredients are therefore replaced with natural, plant-based ingredients.
PATYKA’s 100% Natural Beauty Ritual
Discover the benefits of organic cosmetics and make them part of your beauty routine. PATYKA has created a guide to help you build your beauty ritual in 5 essential, effective and certified organic steps.
Step 1 — Deep Cleanse
Among the beauty rituals to adopt every day, thoroughly cleansing your face is one of the essential steps. It helps remove pollution, dust, excess sebum and other toxins that can dull the skin’s natural beauty.
Try double cleansing by combining two skincare products with properties suited to your skin, rather than using soap. Soaps can be harsh and drying and are generally not particularly gentle on the skin barrier.
For those concerned about irritating their skin, PATYKA has developed the 3-Step Cleansing Ritual, inspired by the Asian “layering” method, with innovative formulas designed to meet the needs of every skin type.
The Remarkable Cleansing Oil is applied with your fingertips and is ideal for removing all traces of make-up, even waterproof make-up, without sensitising the skin. And by reducing your use of cotton pads, you are also doing something good for the planet!
Continue with the Perfecting Cleansing Foam to revive the radiance of dull skin and deeply oxygenate the epidermis while respecting the skin’s natural balance. City-dwelling skin can turn to the Detox Cleansing Foam, enriched with Aloe Vera, to free the skin from the impurities accumulated throughout the day.
Finally, finish by applying a toner. Often overlooked, this step is nevertheless essential for healthy-looking, radiant skin. For mature skin, the Smoothing Care Lotion smooths the appearance of the skin, boosts collagen production and protects against blue light. For oily or blemish-prone skin, the Balancing Purifying Lotion tightens pores and helps restore the skin’s balance thanks to the prebiotics it contains.

Step 2 — Choose the serum that’s right for you
All skin types, whether oily, combination or even very dry, can benefit from a serum suited to their needs as part of their beauty routine. Thanks to its fine, lightweight texture and low molecular weight, the serum penetrates deeper into the epidermal cells while targeting a specific skin concern.
PATYKA has developed different serums to meet the unique needs of every skin type: the Hydra-Booster Serum, which intensely nourishes even the most dehydrated skin; the Fundamental Repulping Serum, which helps restore firmness to mature skin; and the Radiance Regenerating Serum, which revives the most lacklustre complexions. The Anti-Dark Spot Correcting Serum, meanwhile, provides comprehensive action against dark spots that affect the skin’s luminosity and radiance, leaving the complexion more even, uniform and protected against the damaging effects of free radicals.

Apply your face serum to bare skin to optimise the deep penetration of its active ingredients into the epidermis.
For maximum effectiveness, follow these steps when applying your serum:
-
Pour a few drops of serum into the palm of your hands and warm the product using circular motions.
-
Help the product penetrate by gently tapping the sensitive areas, distributing the serum evenly.
-
Smooth the product into the skin using your hands, moving from the centre towards the outer contours of the face.
Avoid the eye contour area, which requires a skincare product specifically adapted to its delicate nature.
Step 3 — Brighten and awaken the eyes
The eye contour area is particularly delicate and demanding. It is more prone to creasing, and visible signs of ageing tend to appear more easily in this area. That is why it requires targeted skincare specifically adapted to its needs.
The Energising Eye Gel is ideal for awakening and brightening the eyes, thanks to the caffeine it contains. It is particularly recommended for those who are frequently exposed to pollution and blue light.
The Eye Youth Cream smooths the appearance of more pronounced wrinkles and is your daily anti-ageing, anti-dark-circle and anti-puffiness ally.
Step 4 — Apply the right moisturiser
Applying a moisturiser every day is an essential step for soft, plump and radiant skin. During the day, the skin needs protection against external aggressors to help slow premature skin ageing. At night, the epidermis needs an extra boost to support its natural regeneration process.
Thanks to these certified organic formulas, every ingredient in PATYKA face creams provides benefits for the skin: emulsifiers are made from plant oils and waxes, while fragrances are natural and formulated with essential oils known for their beneficial properties for the skin.
Whether your skin needs nourishment (Hydra-Soothing Rich Cream), a mattifying effect (Perfecting Mattifying Fluid), protection against signs of ageing (Firming Lift-Radiance Cream) or protection from external aggressors (Multi-Protection Radiance Cream), there is a cream designed for you.
Step 5 — Renew your skin with a highly targeted face mask
Once or twice a week, treat yourself to a moment of self-care with a natural face mask or exfoliator. This simple beauty ritual provides the skin with the specific active ingredients it needs, leaving the complexion fresh and radiant.
The Double-Action Smoothing Scrub stimulates cell renewal and combines smoothing, exfoliating and softening action in a single treatment. A powerful source of hydration, the Intense Rehydrating Cream Mask contains highly nourishing natural active ingredients to leave the skin softer and more comfortable. Finally, the Detox Charcoal Mask, enriched with Green Clay and Vegetable Charcoal, clarifies the complexion and purifies skin weakened by pollution.
Effectively protect your skin with our Sun Care Collection
Adopting an effective beauty routine helps preserve your skin’s youthful appearance. But remember to protect your skin from the sun! UV rays are a major factor in premature skin ageing.

PATYKA sun care products provide your skin with high protection against UVA and UVB rays. They combine two 100% natural mineral filters: Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. Enriched with a powerful antioxidant duo, they provide enhanced cellular protection.
