Ingredient

Mimosa Absolute (Acacia decurrens)

BENEFIT

Natural

Mimosa’s sweet, floral fragrance is often described as uplifting and energising. On the skin, the absolute helps soothe and balance the complexion and is used for its toning properties. The flower contains naturally occurring compounds associated with hydration, helping the skin feel more hydrated and firm.

Mimosa absolute is obtained from Acacia decurrens, a tree native to Australia. It grows up to 15 metres and produces very fragrant, small, yellow flowers.

The fragrant, sticky absolute is extracted from the flowers and twig ends by a solvent extraction process. It is sourced from the beautiful Mamora Forest in Morocco where, every year, farmers apply for a government licence which tells them where and how much mimosa they can harvest.
