MEME Protective Silicon Base Coat

A formula that’s still just as natural, 10-free and clean: free of Benzophenone, Toluene, Formaldehyde (and its resin), Phthalates, Synthetic camphor, Parabens, Rosin, Xylene, Styrene or heavy metals. MEME's Protective Base Coat formula with 80% ingredients of natural origin and natural, organic solvents is petroleum-based and solvent-free.

• Organic silicon combined with MSM Sulphur is a great organic glue: Silicon strengthens and hardens soft, brittle and fragile nails. Its power has been truly boosted by combining it with MSM Sulphur. This helps to remineralise, densify and strengthen the keratin network, for sturdier nails.
• MEME's Ultra-antioxidant Complex [Buckwheat Extract - Crithmum Maritimum Extract - Vitamin E] is MÊME's signature cocktail. It shields your nail plate to protect it from outdoor aggressions and preserve it from the irreversible damage caused by oxidative stress.
• Horse Chestnut Extract contains lots of carbs, amino acids, vitamins and copper, conferring healing and protective properties. It also helps to promote healthy nail growth.
• MEME's natural solvents derived from potato, wheat, corn and manioc help the manicure last longer and provide an ideal, nail-friendly texture.

MÊME is a french dermo-cosmetic brand entirely dedicated to patients experiencing the side effects of cancer treatments.

 

Cancer treatments,  especially chemotherapy and radiotherapy, can damage the skin. In order to prevent and limit these side effects, it is important to take care of yourself, even before treatments begin, and to do so with products of natural origin, without any harmful ingredients which are safe for people on cancer treatment.

 

MÊME offers a range of skincare products suitable for the most fragile skin, including skincare products for the face or the scalp, body care products and products for the hands and feet. 

 

Thanks to its effective formulas tested in clinical studies conducted in major French oncology departments, MEME has grown in popularity with people whose skin has been weakened by treatments and who are looking for hypoallergenic, highly natural products, free of any controversial ingredients. 

 

The hallmark of MÊME is their choice of high-quality ingredients. Their products are created in collaboration with oncologists and dermatologists, and are manufactured in France. MEME believes it is important to go the extra mile by substituting, as a precaution, any component that could be considered toxic or carcinogenic (such as phenoxyethanol, aluminium and silicones), as well as any potential endocrine disruptors.
