Today we realize that sometimes lower concentrations of certain organic plant ingredients can be more effective, and less reactive. Why is this? Natural substances are often more readily assimilated by the body because they are designed by nature with a supportive team of balanced nutrients for ultimate absorption.

Some of the most common weeds and beautiful flowers contain wonderful ingredients for skin care formulations, such as dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), burdock (Arctium lappa), yarrow (Achillea millefolium), red clover (Trifolium Pratense), and plantain (Plantagocan Major).
