The power of plants
Nipplewort is a widespread annual plant which flowers from June to September and prefers semi-shade conditions. It is an easy-growing plant and can even be found on the edge of motorways. It has long been used to cure scabies and soothe breast irritation caused by breast-feeding (hence its name).
Skincare Benefits Nipplewort extract
In cosmetics, nipplewort extract, which has anti-free radical properties, helps stimulate the skin’s natural defences to help protect it against the damaging effects of pollution.
