Gorse is a thorny, evergreen, perennial shrub that grows to 1 to 2 m in height. Very rich in proteins and nitrogen, it is a pioneer species renowned for its resilience, competitiveness and energizing effect on its environment. A single plant can produce several thousand seeds per year, which may remain viable for more than 20 years. They are hard, resistant to water and characterized by their ability to germinate after fire disturbance. They are capable of growing on fire-damaged, uneven land as well as on nutrient- or acid-poor soil. Gorse also plays a role in the ecosystem. It serves as a source of nourishment for insects and honey production: bees come and look for nectar and pollen. It also helps birds, butterflies and other insects build nests which contributes to a more beautiful biodiversity.
Skincare benefits of Organic gorse extract
Clarins Research has demonstrated that organic gorse extract helps to activate tension strength in fibroblasts. Thus, it has a firming and tightening effect on the skin, helping to address the signs of ageing and skin slackening caused by the drop in oestrogen and menopause.
Responsible sourcing
Our gorse extract comes from organic plants which grow in Brittany (France). They are picked by hand, in small quantities and in different places, to preserve this resource and respect good practices of wild harvesting. In addition, only the aerial parts of the plant are selected, so it can easily regenerate.
