Exploration Brazil - Captivating Country, Tantalizing Secret
Ecological Complexities
Known for its interminable coastlines, tropical rainforests and ecological complexities, Brazil is home to a small and tender perennial that, when extracted, acts like a natural muscle relaxant - some even call it Nature’s Botox.*
Kissed by fireflies when in bloom, the spilanthes acmella grows an ornamental red and gold flowerhead which boasts of medicinally active properties. For centuries the philanthes acmella has been used for analgesic, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory purposes as well as for more intriguing purposes such as toothache and as an aphrodiasiac.
Nature’s Botox*
The bioactive compounds in spilanthes acmella carry free radical scavengers that reduce oxidative stress, protect against DNA damage and stimulate collagen synthesis. These bioactive compounds slow down facial micro-contractions and reduce the formation of facial expression lines and help restructure, firm and smooth skin. It is because of these biohacking properties that many call spilanthes acmella Nature’s Botox.*
Bath + Body Fusion customers find Skin FX Elixir, infused with spilanthes acmella and 44 other natural ingredients, a promising alternative to rejuvenation biotechnologies, injections and fillers. It is why many Bath + Body Fusion customers call it “liquid gold.”
