The power of plants
Native to India, celosia is now widespread across the tropical regions of America and Africa. In these regions, the heat encourages the development of a wavy flower head resembling a rooster's comb, hence its common name of "cockscomb". Celosia has many uses: it is popular with florists for its beautiful flowers and vibrant colours, its leaves and shoots are edible, the seeds are rich in a soothing oil and its flowers have astringent and hemostatic properties.
Skincare benefits of Celosia extract
