Levisticum officinale, also called Loveage, is native to Persia. It has been cultivated since the age of Pliny the Elder and is recognized for its medicinal benefits. A plant with invigorating properties, it was also used in the treatment of a great number of digestive and respiratory illnesses, to help the patient recover strength and energy.

An important ingredient of love potions, Levisticum Officinale oil was attributed to aphrodisiac properties in ancient times that stimulate the body and the mind. It is a clear yellow liquid with a characteristic odor, soluble in oils, and insoluble in water. Nowadays it is used to revive the spirit and offers tone and revitalizing power for an essential beauty.

The active matter of oil has significantly increased the potential of epidermal growth factors to support the growth of human keratinocytes and the synthesis of proteins in vitro. By supporting the skin to make the most of growth factors, the synthesis of which naturally diminishes with age, Levisticum Officinale oil allows the skin to multiply its forces and proudly assert a conquering beauty.

Cosmetic applications of Levisticum Officinale oil include:
  • Invigorating face and body care
  • Revitalizing SPA treatments
  • Active scents and toiletries
  • Energizing hair care
