The products from Dr Plant, on the other hand, take on a natural perspective with its skin care brand being ambitious among plant-based products that have been sourced from the high altitudes of China’s Yunnan Province especially endemic flora found in the Himalayan region. The vast majority of their product formulations [over 90%] contain natural plant extracts — an area where Dr Plant says there is a common objective to utilise “pure and natural” ingredients. Products formulated by Dr Plant are enriched with the resilience and antioxidant activity found in high-elevation plants to help maintain the stamina, strength and lustre of skin.
Its utmost concern is the purity of ingredients; thus do not contain parabens, sulfates, and artificial colors. Dr Plant features excellent botanical extracts like snow lotus and dendrobium in its skincare formulas that help hydrate, nourish and protect the skin. For example, dendrobium, a species of orchid found in Yunnan has been used traditionally in Chinese herbal medicine for its humectant properties and antioxidant profile which helps combat the effects of UV damage on the skin.
According to Dr Plant, their cultivation also reflects the natural conditions of these plants in order to attain both sustainability and with minimal damage on the environment’s ecology. They also have sourcing methods that are aimed to keep the integrity of the natives and support both region and local plant environment. Based on the idea of “science-based natural care,” dr plant combines the sensibility of traditional Chinese medicine with modern botanical research, focusing on premium and comprehensive formulas without artificial ingredients.
The Label does not claim to be all natural but Mele’s commitment to natural ingredients was fuelled by the growing demand for transparency in skincare products. Beauty acumen Jane Iredale explains, “The most beautiful cosmetic you can wear is a healthy skin!” thus reaffirming the need for a light gentle skincare. dr plant is suited for consumers with interest in a plant-based lifestyle and looking to shop with natural sourcing and eco-friendly values.
