• Made in the USA in an FDA-registered facility.
• Sizes from 2 fl oz to 2 gallons, including multi-packs.

About the plant

The blue water lily of the Nile anchors itself in the mud with a stout dark rhizome and sends up its pads and flowers on long stalks to the surface. This extract is made from that rooting part. The flowers above it are pale blue with sharply pointed petals around a yellow centre, opening in the morning and closing again by early afternoon — a daily cycle the ancient Egyptians read as death and rebirth, which is why the plant appears on tomb walls, column capitals and, strewn in garlands, over the coffin of Tutankhamun.

Suggested use

Shake well before use. Apply a small amount directly to clean, intact skin with a fingertip or a cotton pad. You can also add it to a cream or oil of your own — shake before each use, as the extract does not dissolve in oil. Patch-test on a small area first and wait 24 hours before wider use.

Warnings

Keep out of reach of children. Not for use on broken skin, open wounds or damaged skin. Discontinue use if irritation, redness or a rash develops. Do not use if the tamper seal is broken or missing. Store tightly capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
