Deconstructing and Reconstructing Plants to Make Holistic Products
17th May 2025 @11am

Making natural plant-based products with an acceptable shelf life is close to impossible with fresh botanicals. Some constituents lose intensity while others disappear completely. But if we understand the way plants are 'put together', we can begin to understand how to 'take them apart' in order to capture and harness all of the benefits they have to offer. Being able to utilise a full palette of plant constituents in our cosmetics results in powerfully effective products with a shelf life that rivals any commercially made product.
