Use in Skin Care and Remedies

The prolific leaves of the ice plant seem to embody within themselves the qualities of the entire plant. Their reddish colour mimics the character of a flower; the reserves of liquid and moisture-retaining factor compensate for the shortness of the root, which is just a few centimetres long and appears to exist to anchor the plant to the ground, rather than to provide it with water. The root of the ice plant is allied to the nerve sense organs of the human being, which include the skin. The plant integrates the tasks of the root into the harmonising leaf system, which is allied to the rhythmic processes in the human being. It thus sets an example to irritated skin, which is, in a manner of speaking, under nervous strain.

The robust ice plant, which has learnt so well to bind moisture, is the perfect ingredient to round off Dr.Hauschka Med Ice Plant Body Lotion and Dr.Hauschka Med Ice Plant Intensive Cream, as well as Dr.Hauschka After Sun Lotion and Dr.Hauschka Intensive Treatment 03.
