Achillea millefolium

Yarrow is named after Achilles, the Greek hero who is said to have used it to staunch the wounds of his soldiers on the battlefield, a myth that speaks to its ancient reputation as a wound-healing herb. Native to temperate regions across Europe and Asia, it grows in meadows, roadsides, and coastal grasslands with the same resilience that has made it a trusted healing herb across virtually every culture that encountered it.

Yarrow contains azulene, achilleine, flavonoids, and tannins that give it its distinctive anti-inflammatory, astringent, and wound-supportive properties. In skincare formulas it is used for its toning, balancing, and gently clarifying character.

How It Works

Yarrow's tannin content acts as a natural astringent, toning and tightening the skin surface and helping to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. Its flavonoids provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, while its natural salicylic acid content contributes gentle exfoliating and clarifying properties. It is well-suited to formulas designed for oily, combination, or congestion-prone skin.
