Soft and fragile violets have fascinated me since childhood. Their uplifting aroma always brought me back to my equilibrium. Only later I learned that they are not only beautiful and fragrant but also edible so I started to add them to salads, sandwiches, or drinks. Their striking violet color and specific taste made every plate stand out. Only later on I discovered their medicinal benefits and their use in natural remedies and skincare products. I hope my discovery of violet doesn’t stop

If you wish to use any herb in skin care products - creams, balms, body butter, etc. The best way to start is to infuse it in oil. Letting the herb macerate in oil for a certain time allows the herb to extract its medicinal properties. The season of violets is short, so the best way is to preserve them in violet infusion for later use.
