Orange Blossom
But where does orange blossom come from?
Orange blossom comes from the bitter orange tree, a tree belonging to the Rutaceae family native to Asia. Today, this tree is mainly cultivated in Morocco, India, Spain, Italy, and Tunisia. In the 17th century, orange blossom extract was used as a perfume by the Duchess of Nerola to scent her gloves and bath. That is why the name Neroli is used to describe this essence with aphrodisiac properties.
And why is it good for our skin?
Orange blossom extract is recommended to soothe and calm irritations. Its soothing, softening, and refreshing properties provide immediate relief to all skin types and ease discomfort caused by sunburn. Its unique composition helps treat diffuse redness on the superficial layers of the epidermis.
Our difference: a 100% natural extract!
Extraction is done by macerating the plants in an exclusively natural solvent. A concentration step by vacuum evaporation is then used to remove these solvents. The extracts obtained are then dried by zeodration, an innovative drying technology that does not denature the active ingredients, and then solubilized in a plant-based glycerin carrier. The extract is then titrated to guarantee the plant’s activity in active molecules.
And how do we guarantee its effectiveness?
Titrimetry makes it possible to determine the concentration of a chemical species in solution, in order to guarantee the activity of the molecules during extraction. It is simply a measuring technique!
