Delicate, scented, and coloured, flowers are not just a pleasure for our senses: many of them have beneficial effects on the skin. Their presence in skincare rituals is nothing new, and the cosmetics industry intends to keep using them for a long time. Rose, cornflower, or lavender, flowers are everywhere.
Whatever their smell or action on the skin, there is something for every taste!

Neutral Liquid Soap - Centifolia

This list is far from exhaustive, since there are so many products containing one or more floral waters on the market, in all cosmetics segments – mostly organic, but also conventional and dermocosmetics brands. This can be explained both by the properties they are endowed with and their excellent skin tolerance…
