What is Blue Lotus Extract?

Blue Lotus Extract is made from the flowers of Nymphaea caerulea, carefully extracted in vegetable glycerin as a so-called "glycerite". This sacred lotus has been known for centuries for peace, clarity and gentle skin care. The extract gives formulas a luxurious, calming character with a subtle floral scent.

The blue lotus is a water plant that traditionally grows in Egypt and Southeast Asia. The extract has a light, floral scent with a soft, earthy undertone and provides a feeling of peace and comfort.

The extract supports the skin with antioxidants and soothing ingredients that help calm redness and promote recovery. Polyphenols and flavonoids support protection against free radicals, while the glycerin base provides long-lasting hydration and makes the skin supple.

The scent works relaxing and clarifying, ideal for a moment of selfcare. Perfect for DIY serums, gels, toners, creams and gentle body products.
