You want your beauty to be inspired, and the inspiration should be beautiful. Strong imagery is one of our greatest powers when it comes to marketing new cosmetic products - just look at the success of K-beauty’s terminology surrounding “glass skin.” Partner with nature and draw inspiration from the Earth’s most beautiful wonders: flowers. Flowers have adapted over millions of years to attract pollinating insects (shoutout to the honeybees!) with their beauty and fragrance. From these sophisticated adaptations we reap the benefits not only of their beauty and fragrance, but also nourishing compounds that can be extracted to bring refined skin benefits. Let’s discover our active ingredients extracted from flowering plants, and inspire beautiful skin from the beauty of the Earth.

Sea Chamomile: Reduce redness of sensitive skins with SEA MAYWEED SC (opens new window)

The Sea Chamomile, Matricaria maritima, is a cousin of the Chamomile, from the Daisy family. Daisies are usually rich in essential oils, tannins, flavonoids,... and has anti-inflammatory and mild astringent properties. They are used in infusions, but also atopic treatments to treat eczema, dermatitis,...

The Sea Chamomile, as opposed to its lawn Chamomile cousin (Anthemis nobilis), is most frequently found above beaches and sand dunes and has no fragrance or essential oils. It bases its properties on its high concentrations of phenolic compounds, amino acids, fructan sugars, minerals, vitamins,... providing a high-performance active substance for sensitive skin and offering an alternative for the blood microcirculation (couperose).

Our water-based extract SEA MAYWEED SC (opens new window) protects and soothes sensitive skins by regulating inflammatory mediators and protecting the blood vessel membranes. It significantly reduces the cutaneous reactivity, irritation and redness (in vivo tested).

The Golden samphire: protect against environmental stresses with INULA HC & INULA SC (opens new window)

Another interesting plant from the Daisy family is the golden samphire, also known as the Inula maritima. It’s a marine succulent plant growing on sea cliffs, with golden petals. Constantly stressed by maritime wind, it developed its own mechanism to survive.

It’s known existence for over 500 years and is considered to be a salty sea vegetable (also known as Sea pickle, or Sea asparagus). It’s full of minerals, vitamins, and contains unique compounds called fucoidans often found in sea vegetables, which can have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Moreover, the Inula maritima contains sterols and glycolipids, which contribute to the reinforcement of lipid cohesion to restructure hair.

The oily extract, INULA HC, increases keratinocyte cell proliferation, keratin fiber stimulation for hair regeneration & protects the lipids from oxidation for a good cuticle cohesion in hair fiber.

Applied in a coloring shampoo, it brightens up the hair color, for an intense look, like the golden petals of the Inula maritima.

On the skin, the water-based extract INULA SC (opens new window) is also very powerful. It protects skin from oxidation under UV, specifically the Gags & collagen and boost their synthesis for a firming effect.
