Narcissus Tazetta in Skincare

What Does a Daffodil Know About Growing Older?

Plants are extraordinary chemists. Over millions of years, they have developed remarkably sophisticated ways to protect themselves, conserve moisture and respond to their environment.
Nature has been formulating for a very long time.
What interests me is learning which of those botanical possibilities can genuinely make a difference to our skin.
Narcissus tazetta is a wonderful example: I use an extract from its bulb to brighten skin, reduce visible lines, improve elasticity and help pores look clearer and more refined.

When Promise Becomes Performance

Because an ingredient performs beautifully in a laboratory, it doesn't necessarily follow that it will perform beautifully in a formula.

That's why I try things. Some promising ingredients disappoint me. Others surprise me.

And every so often, you find something that really does the job. Narcissus tazetta is one of those discoveries. What makes it especially interesting is its versatility. I use it in four formulas, for four different reasons.

One Bulb. Four Applications.

Narcissus has proved useful to me in very different ways. The same bulb extract that I use for brightening also finds a place in formulas for visible lines, elasticity and a clearer, more refined complexion.
