PICEA MARIANA BARK EXTRACT
Picea Mariana Bark Extract is a high-tech, 100% natural extract sourced from black spruce bark – an extreme Canadian survivor tree and the only species able to survive in the Tundra due to its resistance to very cold temperatures. As a skincare ingredient, it provides total, biomimetic protection against environmental aggressions, deeply hydrates the skin and repairs skin damage.
In ancestral traditions, Picea Mariana was topically used to prevent inflammation, including psoriasis, relieve back pain, treat stomach aches and combat feelings of general weakness.
It is a rich source of resveratrol, containing 6x more resveratrol compared to well-known grape seed extracts, and various polyphenols for the skin, giviing it strong antioxidant properties. It fights dehydration caused by cold temperatures, winds, pollution and oxidation by scavenging targeted free radicals. At LAST, we use it in combination with Glycerin, with which it defends the skin against environmental stressors, increases skin hydration and shields it from pollution and oxidation. It acts as a protective shield against photo-aging by absorbing UV rays, reducing the risks of UV exposure side effects. It also acts as a UV protective booster, targeting the tree major free radicals generated by chronic exposure to the sun.
The extract has a soothing effect, demonstrated by its capacity to inhibit inflammatory markers. It can trap nitric oxide, a main component of air pollution, making it a good candidate to combat environmental stressors. It also acts as a soothing agent, maintaining the integrity of the skin’s barrier function and keeping the skin naturally moisturized. It provides natural hydration and can be applied to sensitized or sensitive skin, as well as skin with atopic tendencies.
The extract we use a LAST is preservative-free, COSMOS certified, and obtained through eco-friendly and effective circular economy process.
