Global View - Jakarta, Indonesia

We're sharing here an email from one of our suppliers who is building a new facility in Jakarta for harvesting and distilling Cinnamon. We are committed to supporting our global suppliers as they work toward creating sustainable communities around the world. 

"Ten years ago, when we established ourselves in Jakarta, we chose to work in an industrial area in the city center. For those of you who have visited Jakarta recently, experiencing the heavy traffic, we understand that it's time for us to move away from the capital. We have fortunately found a very nice plot of land, 40km from the city in a Japanese-owned industrial park.

Last week we had the official ground breaking ceremony, and our Jakarta mapKorean contractor is estimating that the factory will be done by June. The configuration of this new facility will allow us to increase productivity, provide a better guarantee of food, safety, and security, while working in better conditions.

So, to sum things up:  a French-owned company, operating in Indonesia, using a Korean contractor, in a Japanese industrial park. Can't be more international than that." - Francois Bernard
 

Premier Organic Regimen for Sensitive Skin

While being gentle in nature for the most sensitive skin, each of these Ecocert certified organic products features potent natural actives to target the "assault on youth" by the multitude of environmental and internal stress factors we experience throughout the day. 

Stress Relieving Cleansing Crème [Prima Fleur No.1201] - to cleanse away emotional stress while calming redness with anti-inflammatory schisandra, anti-oxidant seabuckthorn, and anti-irritant rhatany extracts. Developed to be massaged into tired, stressed skin, this gentle crème cleanser helps skin resist external stress factors while stabilizing lipid and moisture balance. An aromatic escape is provided by rose, neroli, lavender and chamomile, pure essential oils among the gentlest botanicals in nature, ideal for treatment of sensitive skin.

Immortelle Facial Mist [Prima Fleur No.1213] - to quench and revitalize exhausted cells with regenerative helichrysum and a sweet lupine extract, rich in oligosaccharides and glutaminated peptides to improve the synthesis of structural proteins and epidermal lipids. This intensely-soothing mist regenerates and preserves the barrier function of the skin. 

Radiance Day & Night Face Crème [Prima Fleur No. 1203] - to nourish skin with this delicate crème, abundant with organic actives, and featuring alfalfa extract, an anti-aging active for prevention of wrinkles and improving skin elasticity. This potent organic delivers retinol-like action to stimulate epidermal cell renewal and improve synthesis of collagen without the negative irritation factors of retinol. This is an ideal crème for devitalized, sensitive skin prone to slackening.

Samphire Eye Crème [Prima Fleur No. 1214] - to soothe the delicate eye area. The first sensation upon application is a dramatic feeling of soothing, cooling relaxation of the eye area. It is provided by our namesake ingredient, Crithmum maritimum, commonly called samphire, an aromatic water which has the ability to induce the skin's endorphin release from keratinocytes and  sensory neurons, providing a sensation of soothing calmness. Buckwheat is rich in phytosterols, which have a combined action that reduces fat production; obtained by CO2 extraction, this extract treats fatty deposits under the skin, creating a dramatic reduction in age-related puffiness. Endorphins activate opiate receptors expressed in the limbic or "emotional" brain, which plays an important part in the sensation of pleasure. Each ingredient in this all-botanical formula is selected for efficacy and gentleness, specifically addressing eye area issues of skin wrinkling, loss of elasticity, puffiness, hyper-pigmentation, reversal and prevention of free-radical damage.
