An Alpine Extract that reduces pore size and reduces sebum production in oily skin. Effective with sensitive skins as well. It has excellent Eco credentials.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

It is a clear, to slightly opalescent, amber to brown colored, slightly viscous liquid with a characteristic odour.

It is extracted from a rare Swiss Alpine plant called Epilobium Fleischeri which is cultivated at an elevation of over 1000 metres in the Swiss mountains.

This Willowherb plant is rich in both flavonoids and Oenothein B which are key compounds for sebum regulation and anti-inflammatory activities.

The individual materials that make up Epidermis and Sebum Rebalancer are listed on the Cosmetic Ingredient Database (CosIng) here.

Historical Information

Herbal extracts have been used for centuries as simple, but effective ways of addressing different skin problems. Often, the chemistry was not known or understood of what the action was but Swiss clinics were leaders in the field of using Alpine plants for this purpose.
