Nicknamed “nipplewort”...

Succory dock-cress is a widespread annual plant which flowers from June to September and prefers semi-shade conditions. It is an easy-growing plant which can even be found growing beside motorways. It has long been used to heal scabies and soothe irritation caused by breast-feeding (hence its name “nipplewort”).

A shield against external aggressors

In cosmetics, succory dock-cress extract, with its anti-free radical properties, helps stimulate the skin’s natural defences against environmental aggressors.
