What does it look like?
A few words from our expert
We obtain a 100% natural extract from Aquatic mint using green chemistry; a patented thermomechanical extraction process without using water or solvents to preserve that optimises the mint’s natural properties. Our hair detox formulas are developed within a 50km radius of the field, ensuring a short supply chain!

Klorane supports research
Klorane has joined forces with the CNRS to work on phytoremediation
The prestigious Tsinghua University in China recently highlighted the depolluting and purifying properties that Mentha aquatica L. has on contaminated fresh water. Aquatic mint has been used to protect the ecosystem of the Cévennes National Park through the Klorane Botanical Foundation and the CNRS. Rich in antioxidants, the plant’s scientifically proven detoxifying properties help purify the polluted rivers from heavy metals.
Decontamination in action
This collaboration has led to concrete actions to clean up pollution and protect the environment
Aquatic mint was used in 2 ways: filtration columns with Aquatic mint powder were installed upstream to purify the contaminated water. Downstream, live aquatic mint was planted along the riverbank and pond to filter the water a second time. Mint roots act as a filter to retain heavy metals, which are recycled and reused by this industry. A new all-natural, environmentally-friendly method to depollute our waterways!

Archaeologists have found dried mint leaves in Egyptian burials as early as the 1st century BC. While Assyrians and Babylonians used it to aid digestion, the Hebrews made body oil with it. As for the Greeks, they banned it from soldiers because they considered it an aphrodisiac!
