The Flowers That Work Wonders For Your Skin

The use of flowers to heal and nourish the skin dates back to ancient times. And despite their delicate appearance, blooms are one of our most powerful, natural allies in the pursuit of a healthy, balanced, altogether radiant complexion. Amidst the abundance of nature are extraordinary flowers worth getting to know, each of which was singled out for use in the formulas for Active Treatment Essence and Active Botanical Serum. From blooms with natural anti-inflammatory properties to calm, to those that hasten renewal within the skin, these are ingredients that define flower power.
