The Alpenrose is a bushy mountain shrub commonly found at altitudes of 1,600 to 2,400m. It is a hardy plant which can survive the mountain winters thanks to the thick covering of snow which protects it from the extreme cold. In addition, it expands in an unusual way, in the direction of the slope. When Alpenrose reaches 50 to 60 years of age, during wintertime, thick snow pushes the branches downwards to the ground where they can take root and form a new shrub. This original survival mechanism makes Alpenrose unique. It is known in traditional medicine for the treatment of a number of illnesses and used to this day in homeopathy.
Skincare benefits of Organic Alpenrose extract
In cosmetics, organic Alpenrose extract helps to inhibit lifestyle-induced oxidative stress. It is also effective at helping to reduce the effects of UVA radiation, and to protect the skin.
