not a translation, but... Explanation: IMHO "polyactifs" is a piece of marketing jargon that the company has invented to try to blind gullible buyers with science. You could translate it by almost anything you wanted. How about "wrinklicides" ... no, just joking. |

polyactifs de cacao=polyactive substances of cacao Explanation: Cacao butter and oil of Theobroma cacao contains many active substances having a large use in pharmacology today. As far as the number of these substances is great (having different molecular wheight)and possesing "active" biochemical properties making it a good source for production of cremes in Pharmaceutical industry justifies the origin of this term "polyactifs-polyactive".
