Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica)
Gotu kola has a long history of use in botanical skin care. Its naturally occurring plant compounds make it a popular addition to formulas designed to support the appearance, tone, and overall condition of the skin, especially if the skin is red or inflamed.
Butcher’s Broom (Ruscus aculeatus)
Butcher’s broom contains naturally occurring compounds called ruscogenins, which have venotonic properties, believed to influence circulation and strengthen vein tone.
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
Yarrow has been valued for centuries as a topical botanical. In ancient times, it was even used as a poultice for wounds. Its naturally occurring plant compounds and astringent qualities make it especially well suited to formulas intended to tone and care for the skin. Yarrow is a circulatory stimulant, which is believed to speed up healing time.
Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus)
Rosemary is rich in aromatic and antioxidant plant compounds, including rosmarinic acid, which may help boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity.
Green Tea (Camellia sinensis)
Green tea is naturally rich in polyphenols and antioxidants. It is widely incorporated into skin-care preparations for its soothing properties and its ability to support the appearance of healthy skin. It also contains caffeine, commonly included in skincare to tone.
Arnica (Arnica montana)
Arnica is commonly found in massage oils, balms, and salves intended for hardworking areas of the body. We include it as part of this botanical blend for its traditional topical use and skin-soothing qualities.
Cayenne (Capsicum annuum)
Cayenne contains naturally occurring capsaicinoids and has traditionally been incorporated into warming topical preparations. In this formula, it adds a gently stimulating, soothing quality that pairs nicely with cooling peppermint for a unique feeling on the skin.
