Galbanum (Ferul galbanifera) gum extract is a natural
fatty gummy resin, and the essential oil is steam-distilled from the resin. It
has a strong green odor and is used as a fixative in perfume and incense. Its
anti-inflammatory qualities make it a wonderful aid for poor circulation and
can be used in hot compresses for most pain relief. Since it is antiseptic and
antimicrobial, wounds are more quickly healed. It has soothing properties,
especially on aching hands, feet or joints. The essential oil [Prima Fleur No. 200]
is used in skin products for revitalizing aging skin and in body care products
to warm. 
Gotu Kola & Cypress Pore Refining
Cleanser [Prima Fleur no. 1202] includes
a natural fruit acid complex with sugar cane, lemon, and orange extracts, which
form a high-quality AHA complex that is less irritating than those found in comparable
products. Ecocert Greenlife certified, this complex has been proven effective
at minimizing the appearance of wrinkles, age spots and fine lines. AHAs
encourage the cell renewal process to be more like that of younger skin. The
result is a fresher, smoother face with more even skin tone. These natural
acids don't irritate or cause photosensitivity or redness like other anti-aging
ingredients such as Retin-A.
Litsea cubeba (May Chang) is a small
tropical tree with lemon scented leaves and flowers and small berries which

and fruity odor. The scent of May Chang has been compared to lemongrass and
lemon verbena. It is most valued for its antiseptic properties when used
externally in skin care.

Native
to South India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia, vetiver is of the Poacceae family that includes grasses and plants characterized by
their elegant underground root systems. The two-year wait time for the roots to
mature, plus the arduous work of
planting, pulling up the roots by hand, and washing, cleaning, parsing, and
drying them before the steam distillation procedure can even begin is testament
to vetiver essential oil’s value. Our Vetiveria
zizanioides ~ Prima Fleur Vetiver Essential Oil [No. 218] ~ is from Java, where the plant
is called akar wangi, meaning “fragrant root.” Good quality, mature dried
Javanese vetiver root yields from 1.5 to 2% essential oil. Oils derived from
older roots have higher specific gravities and optical rotations than younger
roots and produce a richer and fuller quality of oil. 
Millet (Panacum
miliaceum) is an ancient grass whose seed is now used in hair care
formulas. The CO2 extract from this cereal grain has benefit for skin, skin
conditioning and smoothing and is added to cosmetic formularies as a
skin-conditioning agent. It is used for hair care (shampoos, conditioners, and
styling aids), as well as body and skin care (facial care, facial cleansing,
body care, baby care). It is a rich orange-red, clear, non-viscous, low
intensity CO2 with a mild, buttery scent.

Pinus pinaster contains large quantities of terebenthine which is composed of
62% a-Pinene and 27% b-Pubebe. This oleo-resin is used as a powerful
expectorant, antiseptic, and to oxygenate the air. Indicated for infections of
the respiratory system, add to hot water for steam-inhaling treatments. Mainly
used as an aerosol treatment with possible allergies if used externally.
