Arnica (Arnica Montana)
Arnica (Arnica Montana) is a powerful healing botanical native to the mountain regions of Europe and Siberia, long used in traditional herbal medicine for its exceptional anti-inflammatory and tissue-repair properties. In skincare, Arnica flower extract is valued for its ability to reduce bruising, swelling, and redness, making it a go-to ingredient for post-treatment recovery, sensitive skin, and compromised complexions.
Rich in sesquiterpene lactones (particularly helenalin), flavonoids, and essential oils, Arnica delivers potent anti-inflammatory activity that helps calm reactive skin, reduce visible redness, and support the skin's natural healing process. It is particularly effective in post-procedure and post-treatment formulas where rapid recovery and comfort are priorities.
- Anti-inflammatory — reduces visible redness, swelling, and inflammatory responses in reactive and compromised skin
