THE PLANTS OF CHLORIS

Every formula begins with a relationship. A plant grown slowly, studied closely, harvested with care. Some soothe. Some protect. Some comfort what feels fragile. Each carries its own personality, rhythm, and gifts.

These plant character stories offer a closer look at some of the plants that shape the world of Chloris. Though they are not the only ingredients we use, they are among the plants that leave a lasting imprint on our formulas and philosophy. Part field guide, part introduction, these stories are an invitation to meet the plants behind the care.

Echinacea

She catches your eye immediately. Her hot pink draws your attention, but underneath her beautiful color is a tough, reliable and nurturing soul who returns each season in the same place she started. Reach for her to soothe and help calm redness and acne, while naturally supporting your skin’s moisture. You can rely on her to help build immunity within, while fighting free radicals topically. In the garden, she works together with nature to support pollinators like our hero Monarch butterfly, and the rich green hue from her leaves gives our Chrysalis Cleansing Balm the same color and intention as its chrysalis - to protect your skin barrier as it transforms.

Dandelion

Every spring, her yellow studs the land to announce the season. The color asks you to pay attention.Yet, she is deeply misunderstood. Her reputation is troublesome, but if you give her a moment to be seen for who she is, you’ll know she is there for a reason. Her pollen is the first food available for pollinators coming out of their slumber. Her strengths point right to what our body needs in spring - liver support and vitamins. And her nutrient-dense body from root to leaves provides the skin with deep nourishment. Don’t be fooled by the rumors. She is wise, powerful, multi-faceted and dependable.
