Philosophy of Flowers:
Boreale Reishi Mushroom, Marshmallow Root, Moon Nettles, Bioregional Chamomile Blossom Ferment, Coastal Kombu, and Astragalus Root
Active Botanicals:
Reishi Mushroom: Hand-harvested in Quebec's lush, carbon-rich boreal forests, reishi mushrooms are a treasure trove of skin-loving compounds. Their polysaccharides and beta-glucan soothe the skin and promote lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and revitalizing dull complexions. Reishi mushrooms are particularly rich in antioxidants like triterpenes, which help protect the skin from UV damage and environmental stressors. Additionally, they contain ergosterol, a precursor to vitamin D, which supports skin health and vitality.
Astragalus Root: Known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, astragalus root is a powerhouse for skin resilience. It contains flavonoids, polysaccharides, and saponins, which bolster the strength of connective tissue and protect against collagen breakdown induced by UV exposure. Astragalus root is also rich in trace minerals like zinc and selenium, which are essential for maintaining skin health and supporting its natural defence mechanisms.
Gotu Kola: Revered for centuries in traditional medicine, gotu kola is brimming with skin-nourishing compounds. It contains triterpenoids, stimulating collagen synthesis and promoting skin firmness and elasticity. Gotu kola also boasts flavonoids and phenolic acids, potent antioxidants that protect against oxidative stress and UV damage. Additionally, it is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, essential for skin repair and rejuvenation.
Nettle Leaf: Overflows with an abundance of silica, sulfur, and phytonutrients. Silica is essential for collagen production, while sulfur supports skin regeneration and detoxification. Nettle leaf also contains flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol, which are anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, protecting the skin from UV-induced damage and environmental toxins.
Kombu Kelp Seaweed: Ethically hand-foraged seaweeds are rich in vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients essential for skin health. Kombu kelp seaweed, in particular, is packed with vitamins A, C, and E and minerals like iodine, calcium, and magnesium. These nutrients nourish the skin, promote cellular regeneration, and protect against oxidative stress and UV damage. Kombu kelp seaweed also contains fucoidan, a polysaccharide with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties, helping to soothe and hydrate the skin.
Marshmallow Root: A natural humectant, marshmallow root draws moisture to the skin, improving hydration levels and restoring its natural barrier function. It contains mucilage, a gel-like substance that forms a protective layer on the skin, sealing in moisture and preventing transdermal water loss. Marshmallow root is also rich in flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol, which have anti-inflammatory properties and help reduce UV-induced damage and oxidative stress.
Licorice Root: Licorice root is renowned for softening hyperpigmentation and protecting against UV damage. It contains glabridin, a natural skin-lightening agent that inhibits melanin production, reducing the appearance of dark spots and discoloration. Licorice root also contains liquiritin and isoliquiritigenin, which have anti-inflammatory properties and help soothe irritated skin. Additionally, it is rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols, which protect against free radical damage and premature aging caused by UV exposure.
Comfrey Leaf: Rich in allantoin, comfrey leaf is a potent emollient that nourishes, moisturizes, and softens the skin. Allantoin promotes cell regeneration and wound healing, effectively repairing sun-damaged skin and promoting overall skin health. Comfrey leaf also contains tannins, which have astringent properties that help tighten pores and protect the skin from bacteria and environmental toxins. Rosmarinic acid, another compound found in comfrey leaf, has antioxidant effects and helps protect the skin from UV-induced damage.
Foraged Calendula Flower: Calendula flowers are rich in flavonoids, carotenoids, and essential oils that promote skin tightness, hydration, and healing. Flavonoids like quercetin and luteolin have anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. Carotenoids like beta-carotene and lycopene protect the skin from UV-induced damage and promote collagen synthesis, improving skin elasticity and firmness. Calendula flowers also contain polysaccharides that form a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss and enhancing hydration.
Red Raspberry Seed Oil: Bursting with essential nutrients, fatty acids, carotenoids, and flavonoids, red raspberry seed oil provides comprehensive support for skin resilience and recovery. It is particularly rich in linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids that help maintain the skin's lipid barrier and prevent moisture loss. Carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin protect against UV-induced damage by neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. Flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol have anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe irritated skin and promote healing.
Sea Buckthorn Berry: A critical superfood for nourishing and plumping the skin, sea buckthorn berry is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It contains vitamins C and E, which protect the skin from UV-induced damage and promote collagen synthesis, improving skin elasticity and firmness. Sea buckthorn berry also contains beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, which supports skin regeneration and repair. Additionally, it is rich in flavonoids like quercetin and rutin, which have anti-inflammatory properties and help reduce redness and irritation.
Wild Chamomile Ferment: Naturally antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic, wild chamomile soothes and hydrates the skin while neutralizing irritants. Its hypoallergenic properties make it suitable for all skin types, providing gentle care and protection against environmental stressors. Wild chamomile contains chamazulene, a compound with anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce redness and inflammation. It also contains bisabolol, a soothing agent that helps calm irritated skin and promote healing. Additionally, wild chamomile is rich in flavonoids and polyphenols, antioxidants that protect the skin from UV-induced damage and premature aging.
