DNA & RNA
Our DNA and RNA are bio-mimetic ingredients that are derived from a marine source to increase moisture and condition skin. DNA is listed in the Ingredient Buyer’s Guide of Personal Care Products Council at https://www.personalcarecouncil.org/. As a skincare ingredient with a function that is like growth factor, DNA is used to combat signs of aging by helping control inflammation and optimizing skin health. Our growth factors are a form of protein growth factor derived from a peptide chain and are not animal derived.
FRAGRANCE
According to our ingredients supplier, the fragrances in Peptide Foam Cleanser, TGF-β Booster, and Bio Cell Rejuvenating Cream are derived from flowers, fruits, and other botanicals.

ORGANIC
The USDA oversees the National Organic Program (NOP) which regulates the use of the term "organic" for plant and livestock production. Because many of our plant-based ingredients are sourced from the original country of origin, they are not eligible for “organic” labelling within the US. We ensure that all our plant-based ingredient supplies are held to high standards of production, harvest, and processing that ensures the high quality and consistency of our botanical extracts. Purerb formulas enhance the power of natural botanical extracts with lab-stabilized ingredients to elevate formula consistency, stability, texture, and performance, including our skin-transformative peptides. Because these bio-identical ingredients are not harvested directly from plants, they are not eligible for USDA NOP “organic” certification.
PRESERVATIVES
Le Mieux is continually researching innovative ways to safeguard the purity and efficacy of our formulas. Every Le Mieux formula has a unique preservative system that complements the individual formula's ingredients, pH, and packaging. The stability of a formula is not only due to "preservative" ingredients; rather, it is the overall balance of the ingredients that ensures that each Le Mieux product is stable and safe. A good example of ingredient synergy are antioxidants like vitamin E and vitamin C. Not only do these powerful free radical fighters help prevent damage to skin, but they also prevent oxidation of ingredients! You will find complete ingredient lists of all Le Mieux products on our websites www.lemieuxskincare.com and www.lemieuxpro.com.
Our preservative systems are derived from a variety of sources:
Capryloyl Glycine - synthetic source
Caprylyl Glycol - synthetic
Ethylhexylglycerin - coconut palm or vegetable oil Undecylenoyl Glycine: castor plant
TRETINOIN ISOTRETINOIN PERSCRIPTION RETINOL
When using retinoids, please defer to the manufacturer, pharmacist, and physician recommendation for product pairings. For a personal consultation with a Le Mieux esthetician, please call (888) 327-8188 Monday through Friday 9am-6pm PT.
