Honeysuckle Infusion
A twining vine native to eastern Asia, Lonerica japonica (or Japanese honeysuckle) is known for its white and pale yellow, sweet-smelling flowers. They are edible and can be enjoyed by people and wildlife alike.
The leaves and flowers of the plant have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and more recently, studies proved their ability to calm down inflammation and prevent the growth of bacteria.
Lush sources dried honeysuckle flowers from various places in Europe. They are then infused in propylene glycol, a humectant derived from vegetable oil that attracts and retains hydration for the skin.
