Siprès Bay Laurel Water is known for its antibacterial and astringent properties. It is a toning and purifying treatment especially appreciated by combination to oily skin. It is also a natural alternative to alcohol-based aftershaves that can irritate the skin.
Native to the Mediterranean basin, it is the local alternative to tea tree hydrosol.
At Siprès, we use bay laurel in hydrosol form.
L’Eau de Soin de Laurier Noble Siprès est connue pour ses propriétés antibactériennes et astringentes. C'est un soin tonique et assainissant particulièrement apprécié des peaux mixtes à tendance grasse. C'est aussi une alternative naturelle à un après-rasage à base d'alcool qui risque d'irriter plus encore la peau.
Originaire du bassin méditerranéen, c'est la version « locale » de l’hydrolat de Tea Tree, dont l’origine est toujours lointaine.
Chez Siprès, nous utilisons le laurier noble sous forme d'hydrolat.
