The power of plants
Native to India, Celosia is now widespread across the tropical regions of America and Africa. In these regions, the heat encourages the development of a wavy flower head resembling a rooster's comb, hence its common name of "cockscomb". Celosia has many uses: it is popular with florists for its beautiful flowers and vibrant colours, its leaves and shoots are edible, the seeds are rich in a soothing oil and its flowers have astringent properties.
Skincare benefits of Celosia extract
In cosmetics, Celosia extract can help to improve the appearance of tone and elasticity on the skin of the body.
