Plant extracts from the Arctic region – INARI Arctic Beauty sets new beauty standards
Press release 06/12/2019 – Northern Europe is known for its pristine landscapes and untouched nature. In particular, Finland – the land of the thousand lakes – is blessed with abundant natural treasures that are increasingly becoming a trend in cosmetics, as the Arctic ingredients are truely age-defying that let the skin glow!
Due to the special climatic conditions the plants offer highest concentrated active ingredients. In winter the sun barely rises and in doesn’t set for three months in a row in summer.
Plants such as the Chaga mushroom, cloudberry, lingonberry, white pine and Arctic bilberry have adapted to the deep structure of the cells to the adverse conditions of the far North. Those antioxidant rich powerhouses build the heart of INARI Arctic Cosmetics skincare line.
The design of the vials has also typical nordic-puristic look and the fragrance of the products is unique and fresh – just Arctic.
Organic sourcing
In addition, INARI Cosmetics is committed to protecting the environment, for example by producing sustainably and by collecting the ingredients from the 99% organic-certified forests helping to preserve this unique biotope.
The plants that are found in the far North are food and active ingredients at the same time and picking berries and herbs wildly has a long tradition in Scandinavia, as the two Finnish founders of INARI Arctic Cosmetics confirm:
„When we were children we went out into the woods and gathered cloudberries and other Arctic berries. In summer, this is no pleasure because of the mosquitoes!”, Sirkku Hahn, CEO, INARI Cosmetics, remembers her childhood.
When you grow up in a climate where berries, wild herbs, and resilient trees grow, you know about the power of nutrients, and in the INARI Arctic Beauty skincare line, you’ll find the concentrated power of vitamins, minerals, and above all, antioxidants.
A truly luxurious, environmentally friendly and highly effective natural skin care
All products include a highly effective mechanism offering strong antioxidants against free radical damage and signs of ageing. Ultimate results are delivered by combining those potent natural plant extracts with active ingredients and highly fragmented, natural hyaluronic acid.
With a keen sense of trends – high-performance, finest textures and eco-luxe, but above all, Arctic ingredients rich in antioxidants – Sirkku Hahn and Nina Stenberg have created a brand positioning based on personality and local roots.
