The Body Shop has just introduced beauty’s best kept secret – the Edelweiss, a resilient flower with tremendous antioxidant power. Giving this flower to a loved one is considered the ultimate act of devotion in Alpine tradition, and it has long been used extensively in folk medicine. Leontopodic acid is one of the flower’s natural antioxidants, which helps it survive even the harshest environments.
In our daily lives, environmental irritants like pollution and dust cause up to 80% of all skin issues, giving skin a dull, dry, and tired appearance. Edelweiss is the ideal skincare ingredient thanks to its potent natural defence mechanisms, so it’s no surprise The Body Shop added even more to its newest collection, also dubbed Edelweiss! The flower and the products, Edelweiss, have shown to maintain skin barrier health, as well as smoothen the skin’s surface, helping you keep a radiantly fresh face, whatever your age. The game-changer in the new formula and expanded line-up is the Edelweiss extract containing Leontopodic acid, a special and potent ingredient that is 60% more potent than the well-known antioxidant ferulic acid.
Edelweiss Line Up: New Improved Formula
Edelweiss stem cells and Edelweiss extract containing hard-working antioxidants work together with natural-origin peptides, known to boost the skin’s defence mechanism and barrier function. While most peptides on the market are synthetic, The Body Shop uses natural alternatives like rice, which are easily renewable and good for the environment.

Farm To Face Beauty: Sustainably Harvesting Edelweiss
The Body Shop is dedicated to using knowledgeable, skilled botanists to extract the power of plants while maintaining harmony with the environment. Edelweiss is produced according to strict “green chemistry” guidelines and is manually harvested from organic farms. In areas where the flower is not in danger of extinction, it is carefully and respectfully grown to protect the biodiversity of the Alps. It is then extracted without creating any chemical waste by first drying the plant and then distilling it in a way that is sustainable!
