Lime Tree Flower and Elderflower Decoction

Tilia europaea; Sambucus nigra

We use this decoction in skincare for its soothing, cleansing effect on the skin.

The lime tree (also known as linden) is one of approximately thirty species of ornamental trees native to the Northern Hemisphere. This spreading tree has dark and shiny, heart-shaped leaves with yellow to white flowers that appear in midsummer. Meanwhile, elder are ornamental shrubs, valued for their flowers and berries, both of which are popular in drinks, food and traditional medicines. To create this decoction, we take dried lime tree flowers and leaves and put them into boiling water with elderflower petals.
