What are Nettle leaves?

Dried nettle (whole leaves) are carefully harvested and dried leaves from the nettle plant (Urtica dioica), sourced from organic cultivation. They are obtained through selective hand-picking and then cut and dried without the use of chemicals. This process ensures that the leaves retain their rich dark green color and characteristic scent. Rich in vitamins and minerals, such as iron and vitamin C, these leaves are a valuable addition to skin and hair care products.

How do you use Nettle leaves?

Use for fresh infusions as a base for toners, face masks or hair rinses. Add directly to baths for a purifying and soothing effect. Or grind the leaves finely for use in scrubs and masks.

Infusion as toner
Make an infusion by steeping dried nettle leaves in hot water. Let it cool and use as a facial toner to purify the skin and reduce redness.

Face mask
Add finely chopped or ground leaves to clay (for example bentonite) and mix with water or a hydrosol for a purifying mask.

Soothing bath
Add a handful of leaves to a warm bath to soften and soothe the skin.

Scrub
Mix ground leaves with other ingredients like honey to create a natural scrub that removes dead skin cells and nourishes the skin.

Hair rinse
