A gentle floral powder, for quick infusion and artisanal cosmetics

Elderflower powder allows you to benefit from its organoleptic properties without long infusion or filtration. It can be incorporated into powder blends for cold or hot infusion, gentle plant scrubs, or floral masks. Its discreet visual appearance and fine particle size also make it a suitable base for compresses, cosmetic poultices, or homemade aromatic formulations. However, internal use should be moderate and considered, according to good dry formulation or herbal tea practices.
