Flora-Leen is the first range of extracts with a production fully back integrated from the seed to the final extract including the solvent. Designed via a patented eco extraction process based on our A-Leen 5 made from waste recovery, we developed a first extract, Flora-Leen Cistus combining performances and sustainable production.
Flora-Leen Cistus is derived from an ethically sourced Mediterranean plant, Cistus Ladaniferus (aka “The Phoenix Flower” or “Rockrose gum”), making it a game-changer in the pursuit of sustainable beauty.
As a result of extensive research and development efforts, the benefits of Flora-Leen Cistus extend beyond its environmental impact. In clinical tests versus placebo, Flora-Leen Cistus at 1% showed anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, and soothing properties (In Vivo studies after 28 days) :
