Almond

Almonds are the source for one of beauty’s most soothing and nourishing ingredients, sweet almond oil. Produced from the almond tree’s fruit, almond oil has superb moisturising properties for skin, hair and nails and is protective and hydrating, thanks to its vitamin A, B and E content. The almond fruit itself is a multi-purpose beauty ingredient – we also use almond shell powder in our cosmetics for its natural, exfoliating action.

Brown-green algae

Laminaria digitata’s elegant sounding name refers to the brown-green alga’s wavy appearance, resembling a hand with gently fluttering fingers: Lamina means ‘blade’ and digitus means ‘finger’ in Latin. The alga also goes by other names such as kelp, tangle, Sea wand or Kombu, and is found in cold to temperate waters, including the North Sea coast of Sweden. A popular ingredient in traditional Japanese and Chinese cuisine, Laminaria is highly appreciated for its rich nutritional content of trace elements and minerals, making it wonderfully skin-conditioning and replenishing in beauty.
