A tree with powerful regenerating benefits, harungana aids reforestation by colonising barren soils in Madagascar and Africa. For hundreds of years, it has been used by local communities for its many therapeutic benefits. It improves liver function and also has antiseptic and healing benefits, while the orangey-red sap of the plant is used to soothe skin conditions. In cosmetics, organic harungana extract helps promote collagen synthesis for fuller looking skin.

Now largely naturalised everywhere in the world, cassia is a bushy shrub. Its yellow pom-pom flowers give off a heavy, mimosa scent and produce an essential oil that is sought after in the fine fragrance industry. In cosmetics, the wax extracted from cassia flowers is widely esteemed for its protective and smoothing properties.

Native to South East Asia, albizia was introduced to Europe in the 18th century by an Italian botanist, who was captivated by the beauty of this delicate tree. Admired for its ornamental qualities, it rapidly spread throughout Europe and America. During the summer, it bears silky, feathery flowers, earning it the name “silk tree”. In cosmetics, albizia extract is used for its capacity to inhibit glycation – the rigidification and deterioration of collagen fibres - and to protect the walls of blood vessels. It also promotes skin firmness and radiance.

Native of Amazonia, guarana was traditionally cultivated by the Guarani Indians who considered it to be a sacred plant. Guarana already demonstrated exceptional stimulating and fortifying properties before being recognised for its anti-oxidant activity. In cosmetics, organic guarana extract helps flush out stored fat, reducing puffiness.

A shrub cultivated throughout the tropics, the coffee plant produces a fruit that, once ripe, bears two seeds we call coffee beans. The legend of the coffee plant dates back to the Middle Ages. It is said that a Yemeni shepherd, baffled by the unusual energy of his goats, noticed they were feeding on the beans from a mysterious shrub. Intrigued, he brewed some of them and discovered a subtly aromatic, deliciously energising beverage known worldwide today as coffee. The small and fragile arabica coffee plant must be grown in warm temperatures (never below 15°C) and at a high altitude (between 800 and 1200 metres).The natural caffeine drawn from the arabica coffee plant is used in cosmetics for its lipolytic activity.

Native to the Balkans and named after Aesculus – the Greek god of medicine and healing – the horse chestnut was renowned in ancient times for its medicinal properties. In the 19th century, a French doctor discovered its efficacy in treating blood circulation problems. Traditionally, horse chestnut extract and horse chestnut escin are recognised for their draining properties, which help improve blood circulation. Horse chestnut escin is used in cosmetics as it promotes micronutrition. When combined with sunflower phospholipids, it helps optimise the bioavailability of caffeine thus promoting fat elimination. Organic horse chestnut flower extract is used in cosmetics to help activate the skin's micro-nutritional network.

The shea tree, King of the African savanna, is a sacred tree, which should never be cut down or damaged. Women are considered its guardians and collect the large nuts that yield shea butter and oil after processing. Traditionally, shea butter and shea oil, which are rich in fatty acids, help nourish and protect the skin. In cosmetics, shea unsaponifiables, the most precious part of shea butter, soothe and protect the skin.

Panthenol's strengthening action is the essential addition to the formula that adds volume to the lashes.... Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
