Below are some extracts from ATHANOR's description of its Edelweiss Anti-Aging Skin Care cosmetics.

"Edelweiss - Leontopodium alpinum

Edelweiss, the most treasured flower of the Alps, grows in altitudes up to 2700 m/9,000 feet. In order to cope with the harsh environment and intense exposure to sunlight, the plant has developed several protection mechanisms, which our skin can benefit from when we apply a cream with Edelweiss extract: moisture retention, powerful anti-oxidants and its ability to absorb UV radiation.
Alpine Treasure

Through the centuries the Edelweiss flower has enjoyed great popularity in all of Europe's Alpine regions with the result that already in 1878 it was threatened by extinction. In an International Conference Austria, Switzerland, Germany and Italy agreed to protect the flower. Until then it was a custom amongst young men to pick the flowers as a token of love for their sweetheart. Edelweiss was also used in teas and herb infusions for a variety of illnesses from bronchitis and vascular problems to tuberculosis and diphtheria.
Research

In recent years, the high altitude and extreme exposure to draught and sunlight under which Edelweiss naturally thrives led researchers to investigate the protection mechanisms of the plant. The resulting research confirmed that Edelweiss extract contains very potent antioxidants and cell protection properties as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial qualities. Those extremely beneficial qualities led ATHANOR to make Edelweiss extract the primary and most important ingredient of this unique cosmetic line."

We hope you will try the ATHANOR products, which are available at Our Favorite Health Products.
