Description and Uses of Arnica Macerate
Arnica macerate (Arnica montana) has been recognized for generations for its comforting virtues on areas of muscle and skin discomfort. Obtained by macerating Arnica flowers in a virgin vegetable oil, it helps to soothe the sensation of tension and to promote a feeling of lightness after exertion or in case of fragile skin.
For external use, it is appreciated for visibly improving the appearance of heated or sensitized areas (bumps, bruises, stiffness), while providing an apparent restorative action on the skin. This macerate also supports skin microcirculation, providing a pleasant sensation of lighter and toned legs.
Thanks to its natural composition rich in active plant compounds, it helps the skin regain comfort, suppleness, and vitality. Its soft touch and light fragrance make it an ideal treatment for athletes, active people, or those whose skin requires comfort and balance.
