Sourced from local cooperatives in Bolivia and Laos, Crodarom has developed two extracts made with fair trade plants. Crodarom Black Quinoa and Crodarom Violet Rice offer superior qualities linked to their rich content in essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals..

 They are ideal for moisturising and deeply nourishing the skin or hair. Black quinoa contains saponin which carries antiinflammatory properties that are perfect for soothing sensitive skin. Violet rice has a high content of anthocyanin for antioxidant properties and makes the skin supple and firm. Crodarom Nordic Cotton has drawn inspiration from the needs of consumers. People are looking to purity, serenity and liberty to be in total harmony with nature. Having managed to adapt to the climatic conditions of the Nordic regions, cottonsedge has become one of the dominant plants of the tundra and is also used as an “arctic wool” to make textiles. Extracted from the flowers and stem of the cottonsedge, Crodarom Nordic Cotton reinforces the skin’s natural barrier and soothes the most sensitive skins while moisturising and protecting hair

Skin defences boosted by grapefruit extract
Humans are constantly exposed to harmful foreign chemicals and materials from exogenous and endogenous sources. As a result, defence mechanisms have evolved to protect against toxin overload.1 Cells are under constant threat from metabolic waste products and xenobiotics. The formation of phase I and phase II metabolism mobilises and excretes these mainly lipophilic toxins.
