Plantain leaf is one of the most widely used ingredients in our skincare. That's because it is a powerful and versatile  ingredient with many benefits , but super gentle and great for all skin types! 

​

We have both lanceleaf and broadleaf plantain on our farm, but the vast majority of plantain we use is lanceleaf, because this species has some of the most research behind it, plus it grows like a weed!

100% of the Plantain in our products is grown on our farm.
