Powered by Protereation™: A New Frontier in ALBION’s Skincare Science
Proteins are the foundation of healthy, youthful-looking skin. At ALBION, years of research have led to the development of Protereation™ (from “protein” and “creation”), a proprietary blend of three natural actives that work synergistically to promote healthy-looking skin and defend against environmental stress.
- Cornflower water (Centaurea cyanus) soothes and calms, nourishes and comforts, reducing visible signs of fatigue.
- Rice fermented extract (Sake/Rice ferment filtrate) gently refines the appearance of skin texture and clarity.
- Proprietary yeast extract (Saccharomyces lysate) supports moisture retention, barrier health, and luminosity.
Each cornflower is handpicked at peak bloom from ALBION’s Shirakami fields, chosen for their vivid hue and antioxidant content. The hand-selected petals are air-dried and blended with fermented sake and yeast extract to form the nutrient-rich Protereation™ complex. This complex helps restore vitality and supports the skin’s natural building blocks, essential to youthful, healthy skin.
The Power of Botanicals: Shirakami Complex
In addition to Protereation™, ALBION AUTHENTIQUE The Cream is enriched with the Shirakami Complex, a blend of powerful botanical antioxidants cultivated in the pristine area of Shirakami, Japan. These ingredients are grown organically, hand-harvested, and carefully processed to preserve their natural potency.
- Fennel fruit extract nourishes and provides antioxidant protection.
- Triantha japonica leaf extract moisturises and helps skin retain moisture.
- Mugwort flower and leaf extracts soothe, hydrate, and revitalize skin.
- Perilla leaf extract, rich in vitamin C, supports aging skin and brightens.
- Thyme extract balances and provides antioxidant support.
- Lemon balm leaf extract energizes and refreshes the skin.
Together, these ingredients work in synergy to enhance radiance, support the skin barrier, and deliver visible results in texture, tone, and clarity.
An Object of Art: The Exclusive Design Jar
True to ALBION’s values of craftsmanship and elegance, each jar of ALBION AUTHENTIQUE The Cream is inspired by the natsume, a traditional Japanese tea caddy used in tea ceremonies. The accompanying spatula pays homage to the chashaku, a bamboo spoon used to handle powdered tea. This fusion of tradition and innovation turns every application into a ritual.
Handcrafted from luminous, pure white Arita-yaki porcelain by Yazaemon VII, the master of a historic Arita-yaki kiln, each jar is a unique work of art. With only 1,000 jars hand-made per month, this exclusive packaging honors the product within and embodies the essence of luxury skincare.
Be among the first to own this timeless piece of Japanese heritage and let it take pride of place on your vanity table.
A Signature Fragrance Inspired by Nature
True to ALBION’s philosophy of multi-sensorial skincare, ALBION AUTHENTIQUE The Cream carries a subtle, elegant fragrance. The scent opens with refreshing notes of chamomile, lavender, and orange, complemented by calming middle notes of rose, lily of the valley, and geranium. It settles into a warm base of cedarwood and sandalwood, evoking the quiet strength and beauty of Japanese nature.
This fragrance was created to harmonize with the cream’s soothing benefits, turning your daily skincare ritual into a calming, sensorial escape.
How to Use ALBION AUTHENTIQUE The Cream
As the final step in your evening routine, use the provided spatula to apply a pearl-sized amount to five points on the face: forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Gently massage in upward motions to help the cream absorb into the skin. Note: Avoid use if you have a metal allergy due to gold content.
For best results, use alongside other products in the ALBION AUTHENTIQUE collection as part of the ALBION 4-Step Skincare Ritual. The ritual is designed to maximize benefits of each individual product.
