The power of plants

Nipplewort is a widespread annual plant which flowers from June to September and prefers semi-shade conditions. An easy-growing plant, it is even found in very polluted environments, such as along roadsides. For these reasons, it has attracted the attention of Clarins Research which has demonstrated its antioxidant and protective properties against external aggressors, namely urban pollution.
