Regarding a new skin care concept:
Au coeur de nos laboratoires de recherche une quete permanente pour identifier **les actifs, modelisés ou non,** qui seront reconnus et utilisés par les cellules cutanées pour un bénéfice sur le fonctionnement de la peau. Les actifs, acceptés et reconnus par les cellules de la peau, sont utilisés dans le métabolisme pour améliorer son fonctionnement et/ou rétablir une défaillance.
Modelized active agents just doesn't mean anything to me. Translation and/or explanation of what is going on here would be oh-so helpful :-) Thanks in advance.

naturally ocurring or synthesized active ingredients
is the idea.....
modellise= to synthesize ingredients= ie make them in a lab

shaping/moulding ingredients
The product contains agents or ingredients to shape the face/skin or to mould it.

active elements, whether created in the laboratory or not...
I wonder whether what they're getting at is 'actifs' which have been 'modelled' in a laboratory, i.e. they are copies of natural elements found to be of benefit to the skin, which are then recreated in the lab synthetically. But I'm really just guessing.

A concise way of expressing the above would be \'natural or synthetic\', although \'synthetic\' might not go down too well in the context!

Sorry, I just reread your post - \'active agents\' is better than \'active elements\'.
