🧡 L’huile d’argousier est une source exceptionnelle d’antioxydants (vitamines C + E + A) et d’acides gras essentiels oméga-3, 6, 7 et 9. Ces molécules agissent ensemble pour soutenir la régénération cellulaire, apaiser la peau et renforcer la barrière cutanée.

Notre Crème à l’argousier est élaborée à partir de baies récoltées sur notre ferme à Rigaud. Transformées en une huile riche en nutriments, elles donnent vie à une crème somptueuse qui aide à réparer la peau fragile ou abîmée par le soleil, tout en offrant une protection puissante contre la sécheresse.

🧡 Sea buckthorn oil is a rare source of antioxidants (vitamins C + E + A) and essential omega-3, 6, 7 & 9 fatty acids. These compounds work in synergy to support cellular regeneration, calm the skin, and strengthen the skin barrier.

Our Sea Buckthorn Cream begins with berries we harvest on our farm in Rigaud. We carefully process them into a nutrient-rich oil, then craft this luxurious cream. It helps repair delicate or sun-damaged skin, while providing powerful protection against dryness.

✨ Pourquoi les ingrédients comptent autant pour moi !

La vitamine E est un ingrédient important dans plusieurs de mes produits. Elle est exceptionnellement nourrissante, protectrice & profondément hydratante.

Mais, toutes les vitamines E ne se valent pas. Dans les soins de la peau, il est courant que les fabricants réduisent les coûts là où ils le peuvent. Souvent en utilisant , par example, des mélanges de tocophérols — plusieurs formes de vitamine E souvent de qualité inférieure ou diluées.

La vitamine E de mon Sérum Visage Églantier & Calendula est un ingrédient essentiel. J’ai choisi d’utiliser une vitamine E ultra-pure (28 000 UI), un tocophérol unique, hautement concentré et d’une grande pureté.

💎 Pour votre peau, cela signifie :

🌸 Une vraie protection antioxydante contre les radicaux libres
🌸 Plus de puissance, sans additifs ni mélanges
🌸 Une façon d’amplifier le pouvoir réparateur et apaisant du rosier + calendula

Quand je choisis des ingrédients (que je ne fabrique pas moi-même), comme la vitamine E, je sélectionne toujours la qualité la plus élevée que je puisse trouver. La vitamine E ne fait pas exception. 🌿

✨ Why ingredients matter so much to me

Vitamin E is an important ingredient in many of my products. It is exceptionally nourishing, protective & deeply hydrating.

But, not all Vitamin E is the same quality. In the skincare industry, manufacturers tend to cut costs where they can — and one of the ways that they do this is by using a lower quality vitamin E, often mixed tocopherols: which are several less potent forms of Vitamin E blended together, often low-quality or diluted.

Vitamin E in my Rosehip Calendula Face Serum is a very important ingredient. I’ve chosen to use ultra-pure Vitamin E (28,000 UI), a single tocopherol, highly concentrated and exceptionally clean.

💎 For your skin, this means:

🌸 True antioxidant protection against free radicals
🌸 More potency, without fillers or blends
🌸 A way to boost the healing, soothing power of rosehip + calendula

When I choose ingredients I don’t make myself, like Vitamin E, I always seek out the highest quality I can find. Vitamin E is no exception. 🌿

Look what I spotted on my walk today 🌸🌸 !

Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea). So pretty, and such an interesting wild plant to talk about, it’s the plant that gave rise to digitalis, a family of heart medicines still used in hospitals worldwide (with careful dosing).

Foxglove gave medicine its classic cardiac glycosides — the “digitalis” family — lifesaving in precise doses, dangerous and toxic in the wrong hands.

All the way back in 1785, physician William Withering published careful case notes showing that a folk remedy containing foxglove could ease “dropsy” (fluid buildup from heart disease). That work helped turn a hedgerow plant into one of the first standardized, plant-derived heart medicines.

Have you seen yarrow growing in fields and meadows in your area?

It’s one of those plants that shows up quietly—along roadsides, in dry meadows, tucked into forgotten corners—and once you recognize it, you’ll start seeing it everywhere. 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

Achillea millefolium, with its feathery leaves and flat-topped clusters of white (or sometimes soft pink) flowers, is both delicate and resilient. It thrives in poor soil, stands tall through wind and heat, and has long been honoured as a plant of healing. 🙏

Yarrow contains a unique mix of volatile oils, flavonoids, and alkaloids that give it its reputation as a wound-healer and fever-support herb. It’s gently astringent and anti-inflammatory, which is why it’s traditionally used for everything from scrapes to menstrual regulation. The plant seems to know how to bring the body back into balance—tightening where things are too loose, moving stagnation where things feel stuck. It’s one of those herbs that’s easy to overlook, but once you get to know it, you realize how much it has to offer. 💚
