Stories from Nature
St. John’s Wort, also known as Hypericum, is a medicinal plant with ancient origins, linked to numerous traditions and folk legends. Its name is traditionally associated with the summer solstice, when the plant reaches its peak bloom, generally around June 24, the day dedicated to St. John. Its distinctive deep yellow flowers, arranged in delicate clusters, brighten meadows and clearings during the sunniest time of the year.
In cosmetics, it is prized for its unique antioxidant and soothing properties, recommended for treating skin stressed by external factors.
Skin Benefits
St. John’s Wort Extract is an excellent after-sun treatment: it gradually soothes redness and chapping, promoting the skin’s natural regeneration. Thanks to its antioxidant action, it protects against skin aging and also acts as a revitalizer for the hair, restoring softness and hydration after prolonged exposure.
As a stimulator of collagen production, it is often found in anti-wrinkle or anti-stretch mark products and as a hair revitalizer. Thanks to its many properties, it protects both hair and skin from oxidative damage.
