This ability - explained by the presence of protective molecules in the plant - makes edelweiss a powerful anti-oxidizing agent. To allow clients to take advantage of its free radical scavenging, remineralizing and moisturizing** properties, edelweiss has been incorporated in all facial cares. It is associated with other mountain plants to bring a targeted answer to skin needs.
*Edelweiss is famed as part of an endangered plants rescue program.
