The power of plants
According to Greek legend, the nymph Chloris who was charmed by the bucolic poetry of the young Cyanos, changed him into the cornflower to keep the memory of this nature lover alive for all eternity. In traditional medicine, a calming water obtained from the flowers helps to soothe fragile or irritated eyes. Organic cornflower extract is commonly used for its soothing properties which are particularly suited to the fragile skin of the eye contour.
