3 REASONS WHY SWEDISH NATURAL INGREDIENTS ARE SUPERIOR
Reason 1: Unmatched Potency from Sweden's Ever-changing Seasons
In Sweden, the botanicals like lingonberries, cloudberries, and tree saps flourish, drawing sustenance from the dynamic environment—soaking up nutrients from the nutrient-rich soil and the purest air in Europe.
Unlike other natural ingredients, Swedish botanicals are masters of adaptation, seamlessly navigating extreme fluctuations in temperature throughout the year. This empowers these plants to develop robust defense mechanisms against environmental stressors, resulting in skincare ingredients bursting with unparalleled potency and efficacy.
Reason 2: Handpicked in Untouched Pure Wilderness
Picture dense forests stretching as far as the eye can see, untouched by urban sprawl and pollution. This is where Swedish botanicals are born. Handpicked in organic-certified forests, these ingredients are nurtured by pristine landscapes far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Unlike their counterparts grown in industrialized agricultural settings, Swedish botanicals are free from synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and other harmful chemicals. This purity is not just a marketing gimmick—it's a testament to Sweden's unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability.
Reason 3: Sustainability: A Testament to Swedish Values
In Sweden, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's a way of life. When it comes to harvesting botanicals, we must adhere to strict guidelines designed to protect biodiversity and preserve natural ecosystems.
Botanicals are harvested only during peak seasons, allowing plants to regenerate and ensuring the continued health of the ecosystem. This harmonious approach to sourcing ensures that future generations can continue to benefit from Sweden's natural treasures
