Stories from Nature
The linden tree is a majestic and long-lived tree belonging to the genus Tilia, native to the Northern Hemisphere. The Latin name “pliton” means “wing,” referring to the characteristic winged leaves that carry the plant’s fruits, which grow in small clusters.
Hair Benefits
Linden extract, derived from the flowers, helps counteract damage to brittle and damaged hair by forming a protective layer around the cuticles, softening the hair, preserving its elasticity, and limiting water loss. It is recommended for use in shampoos, body washes, and intimate hygiene products.
Skin Benefits
In cosmetics, linden is used in the preparation of emulsions, after-sun products, and treatments for delicate, sensitive, dry, and parched skin, as well as skin prone to redness or irritation from the sun, wind, and salt air.
It has a soothing and refreshing effect. Rich in mucilage, it creates a natural protective film that rehydrates skin dried out by the sun, “calming” redness and providing a sensation of deep well-being and softness.
