The plants that make up our facial care
Wild rose, chamomile, musk mallow, soapwort… these names often appear in our product descriptions, but we don't always take the time to explain why each plant is found in a particular treatment. Here is a quick profile of the ingredients that make up our facial trios.
Wild rose and chamomile: at the heart of Rosa Flore
The Rosa Flore Supreme Face Cream highlights wild rose and chamomile, two plants we grow at our farm in Hemmingford. It is these two ingredients that make the cream suited for combination and sensitive skin, particularly those prone to redness.
Musk mallow and marine extracts: at the heart of Malva Flore
The Malva Flore Supreme Face Cream instead focuses on musk mallow and marine extracts. It is this combination that makes Malva Flore better suited for a routine targeting the appearance of wrinkles and visible signs of aging.
Soapwort: the foundation of our 3-in-1 Cleansing Milk
Our Pure Absolu 3-in-1 Cleansing Milk, for its part, highlights soapwort, a plant traditionally used to gently cleanse the skin, morning and night.
The 13 field flowers of the Anti-Aging Face Elixir
The Anti-Aging Face Elixir is formulated from a blend of 13 field flowers grown at our farm in Quebec. This blend makes it the finishing step of our evening ritual, applied in a few drops after the Nectar Floral Face Hydrosol.
Why growing our own plants changes the quality of a product
Since 2005, Anokian Nature has been growing the plants used in its creations itself, at its farm in Hemmingford, Quebec. Cultivating our own plants allows us to control every step: the harvest time, the processing method, and the freshness of the extracts used in our treatments.
