When we think of plants like rosemary, eucalyptus, and mint, we think of sensations of freshness, intense fragrances, and traditional remedies. But these three botanical essences are also powerful active ingredients, used in natural cosmetics for their soothing, purifying, and toning properties.
In the Amber world, we don't choose them for fashion, but for functionality, sustainability, and scientific consistency. You can find them, for example, in AmberSun Renew, our regenerating after-sun emulsion.
🌿 Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): toning, purifying, antioxidant
Used for centuries in phytotherapy, rosemary is rich in rosmarinic acid and flavonoids, known for their antioxidant properties. In cosmetics:
- helps fight free radicals caused by sun exposure or pollution,
- purifies combination or irritated skin,

Of the various existing varieties, Eucalyptus radiata is the most delicate, suitable for daily cosmetic use. Its essential oil:
