So fascinating is this modest alpine herb's history and so understated its beauty, that we chose it for our namesake.

The genus "Alchemilla" comes from Arabic Alkemelych (alchemy) meaning "little magical one".
In history it was believed that the foliage of the Alchemilla imparted subtle positive influences on the dewdrops that rested in its deeply furrowed leaves. These magical dewdrops were collected and used in many a mystical youth potion.

During the Renaissance, Alchemilla was held sacred in Iceland and maintained a reputation for prolonging youth and restoring womens' beauty.

With its combination of flavonoids and tannins, it's natural astringent and antioxidant properties indeed render Alchemilla a highly useful beauty herb.
