Pancratium Maritimum Extract

The Sea-Daffodil Longevity Active

Pancratium Maritimum Extract comes from the sea daffodil, a resilient white-flowered bulb that thrives on sun-baked coastal dunes — a resilience that has made it a sought-after ‘longevity’ botanical in advanced skincare.

It is used to support the look of firmer, more youthful, even-toned skin and to soothe the appearance of stressed skin, bringing a refined anti-aging story to premium formulas.
