Quick Overview
Yarrow extract soothes inflammation, supports microcirculation, and accelerates skin repair—making it ideal for calming and healing sun-exposed skin.
Yarrow grows wild across temperate regions of Europe, North America, and Asia. We source our yarrow from certified organic farms in the Pacific Northwest, where blooms are hand-harvested at full blossom and gently steam-distilled to capture the delicate profile of volatile oils and flavonoids.
