About

Nettle leaf water — a traditional herbal mist known for its soothing and balancing properties.

Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) leaf water is the steam distillate from nettle leaves, providing anti-inflammatory flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol), silica, and chlorophyll-derived compounds. Nettle has an extensive history of traditional use in European herbalism for inflammatory skin conditions. EU cosmetics regulation places no restrictions on Urtica dioica leaf water. The distillation process removes the stinging hairs that cause contact irritation from the fresh plant.
