What Is in the Bundle?

Each product within this skincare bundle has been selected for a specific, defined role. Every formula contributes to the integrity of the ritual, chosen with the same intent that Sonia Sélaire brings to her formulation work, that good skin science is both methodical and deeply considered.

• Prélude Cleanser - 100ml: A transforming gelée-oil facial cleanser. Applied to dry skin, it melts into a glazing veil and emulsifies effortlessly with water, leaving skin soft, fresh, and perfectly prepared.
• Crescendo Nectar Anti-Age Serum - 30ml: A targeted evening anti-ageing serum formulated with retinal, Diglucosyl Gallic Acid and palmitoyl tripeptide-38. Designed to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, support barrier renewal, and brighten skin tone over time.
• SPF 50+ C.O.D.A - 60ml: A very high-protection daily face sunscreen with SPF 50+ broad-spectrum UVA and UVB coverage. Its advanced, non-greasy formula blends seamlessly into the skin, leaving a transparent, naturally luminous finish that feels comfortable under makeup.

Choose your moisturiser - Light (normal / oilier skin) or Rich (dry skin):  

• Apothéose Soin Caresse - 50ml: A lightweight longevity moisturiser designed to deliver lasting hydration with an elegant, breathable finish. Its silky texture absorbs effortlessly into the skin, leaving it soft, comfortable and balanced without heaviness. Created for both morning and evening use, it layers beautifully under SPF and makeup while remaining equally suited to minimalist night time routines.
• Apothéose Soin Velours - 50ml: A rich, enveloping longevity cream created to deliver intense comfort and nourishment to the skin. Its velvety texture cocoons the complexion in lasting hydration while supporting barrier comfort and suppleness. Particularly suited to dry and mature skin, evening rituals, or moments when the skin craves a more indulgent and restorative experience.

The Synfonie Bundle: In Detail 

Step 1 - Prélude Cleanser

The opening note. The ritual begins here.

The Prélude Cleanser prepares the canvas. Applied to dry skin before water, its jelly-oil-texture formula dissolves SPF, makeup, and the residue of the day without disturbing the skin’s natural acid mantle. Emulsifying to a milky rinse, it leaves the complexion clean, soft, and critically receptive. Every active applied afterwards performs better because the surface it meets is balanced, not stripped. Morning or evening, it is the indispensable first step of the Synfonie ritual.

Step 2 - Crescendo Nectar Anti-Age Serum

The targeted treatment. The evening ritual’s heart.

The Crescendo Nectar Anti-Age Serum is the collection’s defining active. Powered by retinal, Diglucosyl Gallic Acid and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Crescendo targets visible signs of ageing while helping the skin appear smoother, firmer and more radiant over time.

In an independent 84-day clinical study conducted by Eurofins Cosmetics & Personal Care Italy (Report No. 2025-753-2840), the serum was associated with a +14.06% improvement in skin elasticity, a −23.22% reduction in periocular wrinkles, and a −19.22% reduction in brown spots - all statistically significant outcomes, recorded under controlled conditions (1).

Step 3 - Apothéose Moisturisers (Choose Your Formula)

The closing note. The ritual’s resolution.

Applied after the serum, the Apothéose Moisturiser seals in actives and supports the skin’s barrier overnight. Two options are on offer in this bundle, acknowledging that skin’s needs are neither static nor one-dimensional. The Soin Velours Rich Moisturiser envelops dry or mature skin in deep, restorative nourishment; the Soin Caresse Light Moisturiser offers the same considered support in a weightless texture suited to combination or oilier skin, and to warmer months.

Step 4 - SPF 50+ C.O.D.A

The protective seal. The morning ritual’s final word.

No skin longevity routine is complete without broad-spectrum sun protection, and SPF 50+ C.O.D.A is formulated to meet that requirement without compromise. Tested by WENEOS (an ISO 9001:2015-certified laboratory), the product achieved an average UVA-PF of 62 and an average SPF of 72.4, across a panel of 13 participants (Internal study reference: 29NTC01 1225 HDRS-ISO 14365, report date: 28 January 2026) (2). The formula delivers this protection in a non-greasy, transparent finish suitable for daily use under makeup, and should be applied every morning regardless of season or cloud cover.

Clinically Proven Results

Prélude Cleanser

The Prélude Cleanser is built around a core of well-studied skincare ingredients:

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) - a multifunctional active with broad clinical relevance to skin quality, barrier support, and the appearance of uneven skin tone over time. (6) 
• Ceramide NP - a naturally occurring skin lipid that supports barrier integrity and moisture retention. (4)
• Sodium Hyaluronate & Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate - moisture-binding actives supported by published reviews for their role in hydration and the appearance of suppleness. (5)
• Glycerin & Betaine - established humectants widely documented for skin hydration and moisture balance.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E) - a long-established lipid-soluble antioxidant for cosmetic skin conditioning. (7)
• Diglucosyl Gallic Acid - a modern cosmetic active studied for antioxidant capacity and tone-related applications. (8)
• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 - a peptide supported by reviews for its role in age-focused topical cosmetic formulations. (9)

Crescendo Nectar Anti-Age Serum - Independent Clinical Testing

Conducted by Eurofins Cosmetics & Personal Care Italy, under Dr. Laura Mainardi, and coordinated by Eurofins Product Testing UK (1).

Study design: 32 female participants aged 41–72, all with dry, inelastic skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven tone. Participants applied the serum to clean, dry skin in the evening - three times weekly for the first 4 weeks, then nightly for 8 weeks - alongside daily broad-spectrum SPF. Measurements were taken at Day 0 and Day 84 using validated instruments: Cutometer MPA 580 (elasticity), C-Cube Pixience (wrinkles), and VISIA 7 Canfield (brown spots).

Key results after 84 days - all statistically significant:

• +14.06% increase in skin elasticity
• −23.22% reduction in eye-area wrinkles
• −19.22% reduction in brown spots

The serum also achieved a very good skin acceptability rating, with zero participants reporting clinical signs or sensations of discomfort.

Apothéose Moisturisers

Both moisturisers share a core of clinically recognised actives chosen to support long-term skin health:

• Ceramide NP - reinforces the skin's lipid barrier, supporting moisture retention and resilience as natural ceramide levels decline with age. (4)
• 0.1% Sodium Hyaluronate - binds significant moisture in the skin's surface layers to support plumpness and suppleness. (5)
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) - associated with improvements in tone, texture, and barrier function. (6)
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E) - antioxidant support against free radicals linked to visible ageing. (7)
• Diglucosyl Gallic Acid - a plant-derived antioxidant with brightening properties. (8)

Light Moisturiser adds Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, a signal peptide that supports key skin matrix proteins for firmness over time (9). Its base pairs Sunflower Seed Oil and Jojoba Esters with Glycerin for weightless, non-congesting hydration.

Rich Moisturiser builds on the shared core with Squalane and Sweet Almond Oil - deeply nourishing emollients that restore the skin's lipid profile for dry and mature skin (10). Jojoba Seed Oil completes a plant-derived base that mirrors the skin's own lipid composition.

SPF 50+ C.O.D.A

SPF 50+ C.O.D.A was independently tested by WENEOS, an ISO 9001:2015-certified sunscreen testing laboratory, using the Hybrid Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (HDRS) method under ISO 23698:2024 (2). This is the current gold-standard method for measuring both SPF and UVA protection in a single test, combining measurements on human volunteers with laboratory analysis.

Across 13 participants, the product achieved:

• SPF: 72.4
• UVA-PF: 62
• Critical Wavelength: 375 nm (confirms broad-spectrum UVA and UVB coverage)

To put the UVA-PF of 62 in context: the EU requires a minimum UVA-PF of 16.7 for any product labelled SPF 50+. SPF 50+ C.O.D.A achieves nearly four times that threshold. Approximately 1 in 3 SPF 50+ sunscreens on the market fail to meet even the EU minimum UVA standard (2,3). UVA radiation is the primary driver of long-term visible ageing - responsible for pigmentation, loss of elasticity, and the deepening of lines. SPF value alone does not capture UVA protection. UVA-PF does.

Why This Bundle?

A Complete Routine, Not a Selection

Most gift sets are a collection of products. This skincare bundle is a system. Every step has been deliberately sequenced: cleanser to prepare, serum to treat, moisturiser to seal, SPF to protect. Nothing is redundant, and nothing is missing. For anyone beginning a serious skin longevity routine, or for those looking to consolidate a fragmented regimen, this beauty gift set offers the rare satisfaction of completeness.

The Science of Sonia Sélaire

Sonia Sélaire is a skincare expert whose work bridges ingredient science, skin physiology and sensorial formulation. Her collaboration with Naturecan on the Synfonie Skincare Maestro collection was built around a shared vision: that high-performance skincare should combine scientific precision with textures and rituals that remain deeply pleasurable to experience.

The Synfonie collection is the result of that formulation partnership - not a brand endorsement, but the meeting point between advanced cosmetic science, long-term skin support and refined sensorial craftsmanship.

The Ideal Gift

For those searching for beauty gift sets that go beyond the decorative, the Synfonie Gift Box & SPF 50+ C.O.D.A Bundle offers something rare: a gift box that functions as a complete, considered skincare bundle from the moment it is opened. It is a meaningful gift for women at any stage of their skin journey, and an equally considered self-purchase for those ready to commit to a full routine. As a gift for women, a personal investment, or an introduction to the world of skin longevity, this is a beauty bundle designed to endure.
