A healing tree, believed to have powerful regenerating properties, harungana promotes reforestation by propagating on barren land in Madagascar, and throughout Africa. Local communities use the leaves in traditional medicine as an antiseptic, and a remedy for healing wounds. In cosmetics, the extract is used to visibly firm and replenish the skin.
The Clarins Laboratories use certified Organic Harungana obtained through a Fair-Trade partnership. The trees are grown and harvested according to practices that promote human rights and fair working conditions. With support from the local Jardins du Monde team, Harungana leaves are harvested and dried by the residents of Joffreville, a village located in northern Madagascar. The replenishing benefits of Organic Harungana extract are found in Clarins’ entire Super Restorative range of products.
