What Exactly Is Tropaeolum Majus Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract?

Here's what you're putting on your skin — and why we love it.

Tropaeolum Majus, commonly known as nasturtium, is a vibrant flowering plant whose extract is derived from its flowers, leaves, and stems. This botanical extract is celebrated for its rich composition of essential nutrients, including flavonoids and glucosinolates, which are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The extract has gained prominence in luxury skincare for its ability to enhance skin vitality and resilience.

Scientifically, Tropaeolum Majus is admired for its unique phytochemical profile. It contains high levels of vitamin C and other phenolic compounds, which contribute to its efficacy in promoting skin health and combating environmental stressors. This makes it a highly sought-after ingredient in formulations aimed at rejuvenating and protecting the skin.

Tropaeolum Majus Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract works by delivering a potent dose of antioxidants directly to the skin, helping to neutralise free radicals that cause premature ageing.
