Unique
Why it Works
Franc Essential makes a visible difference to the appearance, feel and
health of your skin because the products rejuvenate and penetrate at a
deeper level.
Your skin is the largest organ of your body and it does not act as an
impermeable barrier between your internal organs and the external
environment. In fact, your skin constantly interacts with and absorbs
chemicals and products you’re exposed to. That’s why we believe you must
take care to only expose your body to safe and nourishing ingredients in
the simplest way possible.
Franc Essential uses only the finest quality natural and organic
ingredients. Each ingredient in the range has been researched and blended
together to create a unique combination that gives you skin you will love.
The range is made without any of the chemicals and harsh substances
that have traditionally been found in skin care products. Only the barest
minimum of a mild preservative is added to maintain the integrity and
optimum function of each formulation.
When you use any of the Franc Essential range you can be assured that
what you are applying to your skin is full of all natural and effective
ingredients, leaving you with a feeling of total wellbeing and peace of
mind. It feels like magic on your skin naturally.
There are four main skin types. Franc Essential has produced a range of
skin care products that is designed to simplify your skin care routine,
giving you beautiful and lasting results and leaving you free to get on
with living!
Keep in mind that your skin type can be affected by changes to climate,
sun exposure, variations in diet, illness, stress, hormones, age and
insufficient water consumption. In cooler seasons, for example, you may
require a more intense moisturiser and in summer a lighter one.
But the most important thing is that, whatever your skin type, you follow
a regular and consistent skin care routine.
What is my skin type?
Normal skinIs perfectly balanced, being not too oily, nor too dry. Smooth, soft,
moist and plump looking; clear, small pores; few visible wrinkles, lines or
blemishes; looks and feels hydrated.
Dry skinIs either lacking in sebum or moisture, or both. Underactive sebaceous
glands cause skin to be dehydrated-looking, with lines and wrinkles; dull,
rough patches; feels tight with a tendency to be thin and brittle; pores are
invisible. Dryness is also a natural result of the ageing process.
Oily skinOveractive sebaceous glands can cause an oily appearance; shiny with
large pores; blackheads and blemishes; few wrinkles or lines. Oily skin may
or may not be accompanied by blackheads and pimples.
Sensitive skinIs a condition which can affect any skin but will usually accompany a dry
skin type. Sensitive skin can appear red, itchy, and flaky; low tolerance to
skin care products and cosmetics; dryness and burning. Skin often reacts
to the cumulative effect of one or more chemicals (and the way these
combine) over time, becoming sensitised and allergic, resulting in rashes,
redness and inflammation.
Cleanse – daily / twice daily
Cleansing removes dead skin cells, grime, make up and pollutants.
It is vital in unclogging pores and reducing skin blemishes, as
well as reducing the amount of toxins sitting on your skin after
exposure to urban air.
Exfoliate – regularly, after cleansing
Exfoliating allows the Franc Balancing Mist and Franc moisturiser
to penetrate your skin deeper, as it removes the outer layer of dry
and dead skin cells that lie beyond the reach of cleansers. Franc
Exfoliate is an especially gentle exfoliant that stimulates cell
renewal and blood circulation, leaving the skin feeling fresh,
clean and soft.
Balance – daily / as required
A balancing product like the Franc Balancing Mist will dampen and
soothe the skin. Balancing improves spreadability, absorption and
retention of a moisturiser without the stripping or irritating effect
of an alcohol-based toner. Freshen up throughout the day with
Franc Balancing Mist.
Moisturise – daily / twice daily
Moisturising hydrates, balances and repairs the skin, giving it a
supple, youthful, and an even glow. Your skin will feel soft, look
smoother and healthier. It also helps prevent and reduce those
fine lines and wrinkles that have a habit of creeping up on us.

Why is Franc different to other ‘natural’ skin care products?
Simply because it works. Franc Essential products use ‘botaniceuticals’
– genuinely effective plant-based ingredients that are safe for your skin
yet powerfully effective. Franc’s founder, Chantal Vanderhaeghen, spent
years collaborating and researching with cosmetic scientists to formulate
a skin care range that is healthy, natural and, above all, effective.
This combination makes Franc Essential a truly superior product in a
competitive industry.
Why does Franc work?
The Franc range addresses the four core skin health issues: cleansing,
exfoliating, balancing and nourishing. The ingredients used have a similar
composition to naturally occurring skin compounds, so they can penetrate
the skin and work actively with the cells of your skin. Low cost, synthetic
chemical compounds used in other products are aggressive and non-
penetrative, leaving a film on the skin’s surface, clogging the pores and
eventually ageing the skin prematurely.
How long before my skin starts to improve?
It takes a little time for your skin cells to regenerate and become healthy
after you begin to use Franc. Exactly how long depends on the condition
of your skin when you start using Franc, and the regularity of use. The
improvement may not be immediate, but you should start to notice that
your skin feels smoother and looks fresher after 3 to 6 weeks of use. Even
better, you will require less of your Franc products as your skin begins to
respond, as the Franc botaniceuticals have long-lasting hydrating and
nourishing effects. After time, you may also find that you require less
facial makeup.
Questions and Answers
Are the ingredients really natural?
Yes, and we also use organic ingredients wherever possible. Franc Essential
uses top grade raw, plant-based ingredients with no fillers, foaming or
bulking agents. The only non-natural ingredient we use is an extremely
low percentage of the mildest synthetic preservative available. In
combination with natural preservatives, this ingredient keeps your Franc
products in optimum condition and maximises shelf life.
Why do you use a preservative?
Franc Essential products contain organic, botanical ingredients that are
essentially raw foods. Left unprotected, these ingredients may degrade,
reducing the integrity and function of your skin care products. Franc
Essential therefore includes the barest minimum of a safe preservative
compound to prevent a decrease in effectiveness, and to prevent any
growth of bacteria, mould and rancidity. Our commitment to quality
means we are dedicated to protecting the products, allowing you to use
them with the best results, for a longer time.
Where Can I Purchase Franc Essential?
