High in the Swiss Alps, the Edelweiss flower thrives where few plants can survive. Extreme cold, intense sun, and fierce winds only make it stronger. This natural resilience is exactly why Edelweiss Extract has become one of LÉONIE’s most prized ingredients.
1. Nature’s Built-In UV and Pollution Shield
Edelweiss contains rare leontopodic acids and flavonoids—powerful antioxidants that defend against free radicals from sun and urban pollution. These compounds help neutralize the environmental stressors that can accelerate aging and weaken the skin barrier.
2. Calming Power for Reactive Skin
Beyond protection, Edelweiss is soothing and anti-inflammatory, helping reduce visible redness and discomfort. For complexions prone to sensitivity, rosacea, or stress-related flare-ups, it delivers calm strength.
3. Supporting the Barrier from Within
Edelweiss Extract, paired with nourishing sunflower lipids, reinforces the skin’s natural lipid matrix. Think of it as adding flexible armor—keeping moisture in and irritants out—while maintaining a supple, comfortable feel.
4. Why It Belongs in LÉONIE Face Oil
By combining Edelweiss with ceramides, and rice lipids, LÉONIE creates a formula that doesn’t just moisturize; it helps skin adapt to extremes, mirroring the flower’s own survival strategy. The result is lasting luminosity and resilience, even in challenging climates.
