What is blue thrush?

Blue lily of the valley, also known as bluebell or bluebell Hyacinthoides non-scripta, is a plant with blue flowers native to European undergrowth. It is appreciated in cosmetics for its soothing, antioxidant and protective properties. Its delicate flowers give off a subtle and sweet scent, often associated with relaxation and well-being. In skin care, blue lily of the valley is prized for its softening effects, helping to calm and protect the skin against environmental aggressions. Its extract, rich in compounds beneficial to the skin, is particularly suitable for care for sensitive and irritated skin.

Our blue lily of the valley extract has proven effectiveness in a clinical study.

The Polyphenols of Vitex negundo, commonly called Blue Lily of the Valley, are obtained under specific cultivation conditions falling under the green biotechnology : here, the cultivation is done aeroponics (culture above ground without any use of phytosanitary products and recovery of the extract with as little damage as possible to the plants.).

Did you know that the skin plays a role in immunity, hormone production and perception of sensations? All of these functions are affected by aging leading to an alteration in the structure and function of the skin.

The innervation of the skin therefore has a primordial role in maintaining the integrity of the skin: the reduction in the density of innervation as well as the alterations observed in skin cells during aging could thus contribute to altering the communication between these cells leading to the phenomenon of cutaneous neuroaging.

Our blue lily of the valley extract acts on the phenomenon of neuroaging. Indeed, it helps restore a cutaneous innervation network similar to that of a young adult and thus improves communication between skin cells and nerve endings, helping to improve the quality of the skin.
