Originating from the Balkans and dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine, the horse chestnut tree was known in ancient times for its medicinal properties. In the 19th century, a French doctor revealed its benefits in treating circulatory problems.

Skincare Benefits of Organic horse chestnut flower extract

In cosmetics, organic horse chestnut flower extract helps to stimulate the skin’s micro-nutrient network by delivering nutrients through the skin tissue.

Responsible sourcing

Our organic horse chestnut flowers are sourced in the Massif Central, primarily in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. They are used for our extract, hand-picked between April and June using the most flora- and biodiversity-friendly methods. Our partner favours responsible harvesting sites. Every effort is made to preserve the trees and ensure the ecological management of the spaces: no pruning, and just one to two thirds of their flowers picked, only when they are completely open. One of these sites is a private park which is also a natural bird sanctuary in Ardèche.
