INCI: Tussilago Farfara Leaf Powder

Coltsfoot Leaf Powder (Tussilago farfara) is a finely milled leaf powder used in traditional herbal infusions and steam preparations. It has a mild, softly herbaceous character and blends easily into comfort-focused tea mixes. The powder format measures quickly but benefits from fine straining for a smoother cup. It is also used in brief, rinse-off compress routines made from a cooled, well-strained infusion.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.
