Our extensive trove of naturally derived ingredients for
soothing sensitive skin and reducing erythema and inflammation grows each year,
as we discover how to harness the inherent capabilities of certain plants for
preventing irritation and protecting the skin's natural moisture barrier. The
demand for these ingredients rises with the increased awareness of allergies
and skin sensitivities. Oats are a known skin soother, but newer, more
target-specific options include beta glucan, oat
kernel oil and oat avenanthramides, which are uniquely
found in oat grains. Each of these ingredients is antioxidant rich and
powerfully anti-irritant. Clinical studies on oats show healing effects for dry
and itchy skin.
Magnolia grandiflora bark extract, used
in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda for its calming and soothing
properties, is designed to reduce redness and inflammation in sensitive skins.
Skin treated with this extract at 3% before experiencing irritation, suffered
only slight pricking and tingling as opposed to untreated skin, which went
through burning, stinging, and itching.
Prima Fleur creates and manufactures exclusive
products for some of the world's most prestigious personal care brands. For
more information on custom formulation and manufacture with any of these
ingredients or other exquisite botanicals from our extensive library of raw

Spikenard is a deep dark oil both in color and depth; an aromatic
rhizome. The botanical name has its roots in the Hindu word “jatamansi” which
means: lock of hair. Its use goes back in several cultures and religions. Medicinally,
it is part of the Ayurveda, and is considered to calm the nerves and promote
awareness and strengthen the mind.
Spikenard is a perennial herb of the valerian family
native to the Himalayan region around Nepal and Bhutan. Also called Indian root
or wild licorice, spikenard is a very warm and wet herb that lifts the spirits
and clears the airways. The balsamifarus smell is an immediate indicator that
it helps the lungs. It is anti-inflammatory, astringent, anti-spasmodic, antiseptic,
expectorant, carminative, antibiotic, and anti-sclerotic.
Our wonderfully intense Spikenard Essential Oil is
used in skin and body care products to rejuvenate the skin. We offer Prima Fleur No. 390
from the cultivated root in Tibet, or Prima Fleur No. 392 from Nepal.
