Peat
IRELAND
Found in the raised bogs of Ireland, peat has astonishing preserving and moisture-retaining properties that enhance skin elasticity.
Used as a key ingredient in our Peat face and body mask, 100% organic peat gets absorbed into the epidermis cells of the skin. The harmful positive ions in the skin tissues are exchanged for rejuvenating negative ions in the peat, resulting in enhanced blood circulation and visibly brighter skin.
Horse Chestnut
WALES
In traditional herbal medicine, poultices of the seeds have been used topically to treat skin ulcers and skin cancer.
Rich in saponins and flavonoids, Horse Chestnut is found to improve circulation, is a potent anti-inflammatory and it is known to have great antioxidant properties.
The conkers are gathered on organic land on the Welsh border and hot macerated in Sunflower oil. Rosemary extract is added to preserve its freshness.
Dulse Seaweed
SCOTLAND
Sustainably harvested in the Scottish waters, Dulse (pronounced dullis) is rich in
nutrients, lipids, vitamins, and minerals, which are essential for overall healthy living.
The benefits of this red seaweed are readily absorbed by the skin, nourishing, purifying, and oxygenating. The use of Dulse Seaweed also stimulates and improves blood and lymph circulation, while combating premature aging. Vitamins A, C, B1, B12, D, E, K and P, zinc, iron, and magnesium are some of the nutrients this unique seaweed offer.
Scottish Heather
SCOTLAND
Heather grows abundantly across five million acres of Moorland, giving the Scottish landscape beautiful shades of purples.
This stunning and versatile flower has been used by the Scots for centuries as a medicinal plant. This legendary flower is rich in bioactive compounds which are known to have potent anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial qualities, making it ideal as a soothing and calming skin care ingredient.
Marigold Flowers
