Honey is at the heart of the brand Melvita

I founded MELVITA in 1983, with reference to life and honey, that extraordinary product of flowers that sits at the confluence between the plant and the animal worlds

Bernard Chevilliat –Founder of Melvita

Honey brings a lot of health benefits. Born from a passion for BEES and the environment in 1983, French Pioneer Organic Beauty Brand, Melvita remains loyal to these tiny custodians of nature and continues to keep and maintain beehives, as well as exploring the healing properties contained within the produce - honey. Melvita continues to explore this precious gift of nature and has found an extraordinary solution in nature : Thyme flowers honey.

Thyme honey has an exceptional repairing powers, which acts like a natural « dressing » with an instant soothing effect. It has also reveal an amazing synergic effect when it is combined with acacia and orange blossom honeys in the NEW Melvita Nectar de Miels range, to heal and rescue very dry and sensitive skin.

The Nectar de Miels formulas relieve, repair and revitalise – and there is no need for a long massage for them to deliver all their benefits. The smooth, creamy textures sink in immediately with the softest caress.

Melvita's Thyme Honey

Thyme flowers are rich in nectar and loved by the bees of the Mediterranean Basin. The Romans would use it to purify the air in their houses, while in the Middle Ages, a few sprigs of thyme would be slipped under pillows to chase away nightmares and soothe troubled sleep.

Melvita's organic thyme honey comes from the La Sierra de Cebollera nature reserve in Spain. It is harvested by a family of beekeepers who have looked after almost 4,000 hives there for the past three generations. This natural enclave, surrounded by mountains, guarantees an organic honey of the highest quality.

With its exceptional nourishing and repairing properties, Thyme Honey is the star ingredient in the Nectar de Miels range. These soothing, comforting formulas also contain other, complementary active ingredients, chosen by Melvita.

Melvita L’OR ROSE Refining Serum

Women of all ages concern about having cellulite on their skin can now walk down the street in their favourite shorts, confidently flaunting it in the sexiest way possible.

Cellulite often known as an ‘orange peel,’ or ‘dimpling, is a skin transformation often appear on the thighs, buttocks and sometimes lower abdomen. Cellulite appears when the structures of the fat cells begin to weaken and a large cell specialized in the storage of fats in the upper layers of fatty tissue increase in size due to excess lipid storage. As they are grouped together in cluster form, they push skin upwards making cellulite.
On Réunion Island, Leading French organic skincare brand, Melvita discovered pure, pink gold… Aroeira, or Schinus terebinthifolius, is an ingredient that is so renowned, it has been given the nickname «Pink Gold». The small berries of this plant boast precious skincare benefits.

Melvita has already revealed their secrets in its L’OR ROSE Firming Oil (100ml, RM 178) last July 2014. 

This June, Melvita is proud to launch another new product from its L’OR ROSE range. The new L’OR ROSE Refining Serum is a special care body serum delivers its promise of firmer skin, redefined silhouette and satin-smooth skin with optically reduced signs of cellulite. The precious pink berries act in two phases: they help to limit the formation of large lipid droplets in adipocytes, then help them to break down the fats they contain.

Melvita Nectar Bright Brightening Concentrate that Correct & Prevent the Appearance of Dark Spots

Launched in year 2013, Melvita Nectar Bright range is expanding to cater the brightening needs of all of our skin area. From the initial 4 products (Read more details on it at my previous blogpost) to the eye contour serum last year (Read more details on it at my previous blog post), this May they have launched the latest product - Melvita Nectar Bright Brightening Concentrate, a targeted action serum that combines the properties of 5 white flowers complex, together with a brown algae Ascophyllum Nodosum extract, to CORRECT existing dark spots, PREVENT future appearance of dark spots and PROTECT the skin against endogenous and exogenous stress. Some of the flowers only bloom when sheltered from the sun’s rays. Others close their petals the minute they feel the patter of raindrops… Together, these five white flowers form a complex with brightening properties.

What are the 5 white flowers? They are BELLIS, LILY, WHITE LUPIN, WINTERGREEN, AND NARCISSUS TO CORRECT, PREVENT AND PROTECT AGAINST PIGMENTATION

Bellis:

•       Very resistant, hardy perennial flower

•       It closes its petals at night and during storms, to protect them from the rain

•       It symbolizes purity and softness

•       Bellis is gathered on the wild slopes of the Macedonian mountains (central Europe)

Narcissus:

•       Flower whose charm is eternal, the flower of self-love

•       It is a perennial plant that grows from a bulb

•       Melvita uses an active ingredient extracted from the dormant bulb (when its cellular production system goes "to sleep")

White Lupin:

•       Flourishes in shaded pastures and on grassy slopes

•       Rich in protein, sugars, oligosaccharides and glutamine peptides

•        

Wintergreen:

•       Small-grown, frost-hardy, evergreen shrub from the Northeast-American woods

•       Only 15cm tall, its leaves are elliptical, radiant green and measure 2.5cm

Lily:

•       This perennial herbaceous plant is probably the oldest cultivated species

•       Its rigid stem grows from a bulb to a height of just over a meter

•       Its long leaves are pale green in color

•       From May to July it produces beautiful white, trumpet-shaped, very fragrant flowers with yellow stamens

On top of the 5 white flowers complex with brightening properties, the new Brightening Concentrate formula contains a new extract in order to truly target dark spots.

This extract is obtained from the brown alga Ascophyllum Nodosum and it acts at 4 levels of skin pigmentation, for whitening and brightening effect:

ü  Slowdown of melanin synthesis, through the inhibition of the tyrosinase enzyme.

ü  Inhibition of melanin pigmentation, through an anti-free radical action that decreases oxidation reaction.

ü  Increase of melanin elimination, through the stimulation of cell renewal

ü  Stimulation of natural skin exfoliation for an even-toned and brighter complexion.

DARK SPOTS FADE, THE SKIN IS MORE LUMINOUS AND THE COMPLEXION IS MORE RADIANT!

The Melvita Brightening Concentrate brings together a complex of 5 white flowers* with illuminating properties and a brown alga extract with brightening properties, for complete corrective action on uneven skin tone.

Usage Instructions: Every morning and evening, after applying essence and before your moisturizer, put on a few drops of Brightening Concentrate using the dropper applicator. Focus on areas of uneven skin tone.

Enhance the efficacy of the new Nectar Bright skin-brightening formulas when you use them together with Melvita Nectar Bright skincare products and achieve skin that is evenly-toned, luminous and radiant, the ORGANIC way!

Verdict - Like the rest of Nectar Bright range, Nectar Bright Brightening Concentrate has lovely flowery scent. It is easy to get the correct amount using the dropper. The light translucent gel texture is absorbed quickly into my skin without any greasiness. The formula is mild and I don’t have any breakouts or peeling reaction using it. After 1.5 month of use, my skin complexion looks more even and luminous, naturally.

Nectar Bright Brightening Concentrate 30ml is retail at RM 230.

Melvita Malaysia Celebrates Earth Month with Fun-Filled Visit to Bee Farm

Bees are the most important pollinators in nature and a great part of the food in our diet rely to some extent on bee pollination. Many crops, such as almonds cannot get by without helps from the bees. However with the increased use of pesticides, changes in climate as well as disappearing of green spaces, bee population has been recently declining.

The loss of bees has had a negative impact on the agriculture industry throughout the world, bringing about the impending possibility of a wide-scale food shortage crisis. Without these little pollinator helpers, our dinner plates would definitely be far less colourful, not to mention less nutritious too.

Melvita was created from the inspiration of a professional beekeeper and biologist, and is extremely aware of this ecological drama. In fact the name Melvita comes from the juxtaposition of two Latin words: "mel", meaning "honey", and "vita", meaning "life". It refers to the extraordinary work of bees, which represent a coming-together of the plant and animal kingdoms.

As part of this year’s earth month’s initiative, Melvita Malaysia decided to save the bees by organizing a fun-filled visit to Happy Bee Farm in Genting Highlands. The visit is Melvita Malaysia’s third locally-based green initiative. A total of 27 media representatives took part in this meaningful occasion.

With this visit, Melvita Malaysia hopes that the media, customers and public will be able to understand how bees play an extremely important role in maintaining the balance of the earth’s ecology. Apart from educating the public on the recent bee environmental crisis with bee colonies depleting each year, Melvita would also like to highlight the brand’s foundation commitment to safeguard the future of bees. Melvita Foundation pledges to take part in any studies or initiatives that may help put a stop the disappearance of the bees, as well as to promote beekeeping.

The fun-filled event began with all media participants being taken on a live-bee education tour by Happy Bee Farm’s consultant – Mr. Eric Chan, where he showed how a local bee farm is being operated. He then explained every aspect of beekeeping: from setting up a suitable wooden box beehive, to collection of nectar, and finally the process of extracting raw honey.

Everyone also had the opportunity to watch a demonstration of how raw honey is collected from its honeycomb before tasting it. Besides honey, Eric mentioned that there are many other bee products that are beneficial to mankind and are often used as popular dietary supplements.  These include beeswax, royal jelly (a substance secreted from the hypopharyngeal glands of young worker bees) and propolis, a resinous substance honey bees use to seal cracks in the hive.

The skin can breathe. It stays hydrated and feels silky soft, its suppleness restored. 

Exceptional properties come with exceptional fragrance. Melvita found the purest floral, sunny, woody and zesty notes at the heart of untouched natural areas and brought them together to craft a unique and luminous fragrance. 

The five precious oils were first introduced in L'Or Bio Extraordinary Oil in year 2013 – and loved by all who used it. So Melvita decided to reintroduce in the form of a shower gel and lip gloss.
