The origins

“Each skin has sufficient potential to regenerate and repair its cells provided that its neuroimmune system functions well.”
Dr Olivier Courtin.

In 2007, after many years of practice, Dr Olivier Courtin observed that the healing of his patients’ skin depended less on their age than on their lifestyle. Diet, exercise, sleep, emotional states and environment appeared to be the key factors in skin’s regeneration. In parallel, the surgeon worked with peptides, chains composed of amino acids, fundamental elements of our body’s proteins that have the ability to revive or stimulate the natural mechanisms already present within each of us.

Dr Courtin, convinced that our environment and lifestyle are the leading factors in the ageing of our skin and that our body contains its own regenerative capacities, decided to create a new tailor-made beauty brand.

He began by recruiting a team of specialists to design a new comprehensive beauty ritual and skincare formulas and treatments with maximum effectiveness. Dermatologists with expertise in communication between the skin and nerve cells, laser-therapy specialists, a dermo-nutritionist, a facialist and cosmetics professionals agreed not to choose between key molecules and natural super-ingredients, but instead to source excellence in every domain and incorporate the highest concentrations tolerated by the skin into each formula. Together, they invented myBlend cosmetics for a new high-end, personalised, authentic and responsible beauty.
