Yes! This subject is literally so important in natural skincare and holds so much love & importance in my heart.
If you aren't new to natural skincare in general then you know just as well as anyone that flowers are a tried & true effective skincare ingredient that will always be in style. It's interesting to think how something so beautiful and delicate can provide a safe and effective solution better than a toxic man made chemical, such as retinol, lactic, hyaluronic & glycolic acid made to put on peoples delicate facial skin!
Flowers are one of the most prominent natural medicines in the world, said to fight off & even cure multiple illnesses & aliments such as headaches and even mental health wise, such as anxiety.
Flowers are also often times eaten for digestive purposes.
Flowers contain vitamins & antioxidants that help cleanse, moisturize and smooth skin that help heal signs of early aging.
Flowers are also the main ingredient used in making fragrances, such as perfumes, colognes & air fresheners.
Flowers are not only used for essence & scents but also as decoration and visual appeal as even the strangest most peculiar flowers hold so much beauty & uniqueness. Personally, it's something about flowers in my beauty products that make me feel a bit more elegant and sophisticated. I love it!
So as you can see flowers aren't just for skincare even. They serve a much more powerful force in the world of nature. Flowers are often used in the form of essential oils which is the form we use most here at Supreme Skincare Boutique.

This one flower can target a range of skin concerns all while giving the same therapeutic, aromatic benefits of Lavender.

-
Hibiscus flowers aren't called the 'Botox Flower" for nothin'! It's AHS's (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) naturally contain malic acid as well as citric acid, which will naturally exfoliate & brighten your overall skin tone.
