The Arctic adaptogen for tired-looking eyes

📍 Home: Siberia

Golden root (Rhodiola rosea) is a hardy little plant that survives where almost nothing else can: on cold Arctic tundra, rocky mountain slopes and the wild lands of Siberia. Its golden-coloured root smells faintly of roses when cut, which is how it got its Latin name. For centuries it was treasured in Scandinavian and Siberian folk tradition, and legend says Chinese emperors sent expeditions to bring it back for their elixirs of long life, while their empresses used it to keep their beauty.

Why we chose it: plants like golden root are called adaptogens, because they have adapted to survive extreme cold and stress. We chose a golden root extract to care for the most delicate skin of all, around the eyes, so they look fresher, brighter and more awake, even after a short night.

Try my one-eye test 👁️ The best way to see the difference is to try it yourself. One morning, when you wake up feeling tired or a little puffy, apply the Eye Cream around one eye only. Then look in the mirror and compare.
