A collection of 6 remedies that renew the value of herbal remedies by focusing on 4 Alpine plants. Project developed in close collaboration with Valais-based Phytosphere Swiss Lab and PhytoArk, partner institutions that study and develop the extracts of local flora and specialise in cosmetic development.
Each remedy brings out specific curative properties of one of four Alpine plants studied and extracted by the partner institutions: Alchemilla Vulgaris (Lady’s Mantle), Rhododendron Ferrugineum (Alpenrose), Vitis Vinifera (Grapevine), and Rhodiola Rosea (Roseroot).
