Colway Herbaceum Body Balm 200ml

HERBACEUM is an herbal body lotion, enriched with plant decoctions, infusions and hydrolates, derived from the best traditions of herbal medicine. Optimization of the formula involved the use of effective solutions, drawn from the experiences of previous generations, when herbs and other plants were used to treat various skin ailments.

HERBACEUM is a return to the sources – it is a unique composition of Polish natural collagen, vegetable oils and macerates as well as herbal extracts and decoctions, known and used in herbal medicine for hundreds of years. The decoctions and extracts used in the formula have been carefully chosen and selected in terms of their synergistic action. Owing to this, one lotion contains as many as 26 plant extracts – a unique spectrum of nourishing, moisturizing and regenerating bioactive substances of natural origin. All ingredients were made in Poland, on our special order – with great attention to every detail, from picking the plant to maceration.

It is the richness of the HERBACEUM formula that makes the product so versatile:

• Aloe extract soothes irritations;
• Evening primrose and sweet almond oils soothe and regenerate;
• Calendula and rosehip extracts ensure proper skin hydration;
• Horse chestnut and arnica strengthen blood vessels, reducing swelling;
• Asiatic Pennywort extract improves skin tension and elasticity.

Plant cells boost skin regeneration processes, contributing to its renewal. By stimulating fibroblasts, they increase the amount of collagen and elastin fibers and thus support the fight against skin aging, photoaging and oxidative stress.

HERBACEUM is effective in the care of skin with problems such as: excessive dryness, dilated capillaries, “spider veins” (telangiectasias), acne, atopic, sensitive, irritated skin, lack of elasticity and vitality.

This universal balm is perfect for everyday use. Its light texture allows it to absorb quickly, while deeply moisturizing dry skin. The first application already leaves the skin soothed, and even flaky skin becomes moisturized and smooth. The balm is extremely pleasant to use, it absorbs quickly, calming and pampering the body with a delicate scent of nature.

Key Ingredients:

COLLAGEN 

Natural collagen, obtained only in Poland; it is the only collagen protein known to biochemists that maintains the triple helix conformation outside the living organism. As a result, these peptides retain their biological activity, effectively accelerating the healing and scarring processes of minor skin damage, effectively moisturizing and regenerating it.

ALOE (ALOE BARBADENSIS)

Extremely rich in exogenous amino acids, vitamins A and vitamins E and C, as well as micro and macroelements (including calcium, sodium, potassium, manganese, chromium, zinc), which provide the skin with proper nutrition. Enzymes contained in the plant help to remove dead epidermal cells, supporting the regeneration of the outermost layer of the skin. Aloe strengthens the skin and protects it against the adverse effects of external factors, and additionally strongly moisturizes and provides nutrients and regulates PH of the epidermis to the natural level.

HORSE CHESTNUT (AESCULUS SP.) 

A wealth of many healing compounds, such as: flavonoids, tannins, coumarins or carotenoids with anti-inflammatory properties and sealing blood vessels. Escin inhibits the enzyme responsible for degradation of collagen that makes up the walls of blood vessels. Owing to this, it protects against the destructive effects of capillaries, improving their flexibility and increasing their resistance to dilating and cracking. Horse chestnut extract is also recommended for mature and sagging skin as it improves skin firmness.

ROSEHIP (ROSA CANINA)

A fruit characterized by a very high concentration of vitamin C, thanks to which it brightens the skin and any discoloration. It has softening, moisturizing and smoothing properties. Rose hip extract has anti-inflammatory and astringent properties, accelerates the healing of minor abrasions and scratches of the epidermis. On top of that, it protects the skin against the harmful effects of free radicals, strengthens collagen and elastin fibers, increasing skin firmness and elasticity.

ASIATIC PENNYWORT (CENTELLA ASIATICA)

Its properties and healing effects have been appreciated in Indian natural medicine, or Ayurveda for years; this plant has a strong regenerating, smoothing and firming effect. Active substances derived from pennywort stimulate the regeneration of the epidermis and stimulate microcirculation, contributing to the fight against cellulite and preventing the formation of stretch marks. Asiatic pennywort extract significantly increases the level of skin hydration and tension, as it enhances the synthesis of hyaluronic acid; in addition, it accelerates the relief of inflammation.

MOUNTAIN ARNICA (ARNICA MONTANA)

It has unique healing properties, resulting from a very rare combination of active substances. Arnica flowers contain sesquiterpene lactones, including helenalin, numerous flavonoids, phytosterols, carotenoids, triterpenes, tannins, organic acids. These substances have a broad spectrum of activity that penetrate the epidermis to a greater depth, reaching the deeper skin layers. By stimulating blood circulation in the skin, they have anti-swelling, anti-inflammatory and strengthening properties. Arnica is especially recommended for couperose skin, as it shrinks and strengthens the capillaries, making “spider veins” less visible.

GINSENG (PANAX GINSENG)

Its health properties have been used in traditional Far Eastern medicine for over 4,000 years, therefore it is described as a panacea for almost all ailments. It has a strong anti-wrinkle and anti-aging effect, which is due to the content of ginsenosides. These compounds increase the ability of hemoglobin to bind oxygen, which results in better nutrition and oxygenation of skin cells. By improving the blood supply to the skin, ginseng stimulates the process of cell renewal, thanks to which tissue regains smoothness and a pleasant color.

WITCH HAZEL (HAMAMELIS VIRGINIANA) 

Thanks to flavonoids, the extract strengthens and protects the walls of blood vessels and has an antioxidant effect. On the other hand, the high content of tannins with antibacterial and antiviral properties promotes the elimination of acne-related skin lesions.

SHEA BUTTER (BUTYLOSPERMUM PARKII)

Unrefined shea butter is rich in countless beneficial unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins A, E, F, which penetrate the skin layers, intensively nourish and regenerate it.

EVENING PRIMROSE OIL (OENOTHERA BIENNIS)

Due to the high content of unsaturated fatty acids, it effectively prevents epidermal water loss and thus maintains the optimal level of skin hydration. On top of that, it contains a powerful antioxidant – gamma-linolenic acid, which prevents premature aging.

SWEET ALMOND OIL (PRUNUS DULCIS)

Extremely gentle on the skin, rich in saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, proteins, mineral salts and vitamins from group B and A, D and E, it has a beneficial effect on the natural microflora of the skin. It stimulates cell renewal in the outer layers, thus rebuilding the protective lipid coat.

MARIGOLD FLOWER MACERATE (CALENDULA OFFICINALIS)

A very rich source of carotene and active substances with regenerating, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It soothes inflammation and irritation. It helps with minor skin abrasions, insect bites, skin rashes and allergies.

CHINESE MAGNOLIA-VINE (SCHISANDRA CHINENSIS)

Its core activity is antioxidation. The plant restores skin elasticity and delays the aging process. The high content of vitamin C in the citrus fruit stimulates the production of collagen in the skin, and increases the protective barrier, while soothing and reducing redness.

SEA BUCKTHORN OIL (HIPPOPHAE RHAMNOIDES)

A true “vitamin bomb” recommended for sensitive and couperose skin. Thanks to biologically active ingredients, it improves blood circulation in the skin, influencing its nourishment and oxygenation, which in turn improves skin color. This oil is irreplaceable in the care of dry, damaged, flaky and irritated skin. It significantly reduces the visibility of scars.

ROSEMARY (ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS)

It has a bactericidal and disinfecting effect, and is ideal for the care of oily, acne-prone, irritated and mature skin due to its firming properties.

TURMERIC EXTRACT (CURCUMA LONGA)

An excellent source of antioxidants, including curcumin, which is a powerful antioxidant. The plant has antibacterial and sebaceous gland regulating properties, making it ideal for acne-prone skin care.

BEESWAX (CERA FLAVA)

It contains approx. 300 valuable ingredients – vitamins, mineral salts, fatty acid esters, proteins and lipids – which reach the deeper layers of the skin, intensely moisturize, nourish and lubricate it, making it soft and smooth.
