While Lilly, lilium candidum... good for the skin!


White Lilly is magnificent. Lilium candidum is its botanical name...

White Lilly as a symbol has a long history, being mentioned in Antic Greece and present on the Salomon Temple’s columns.

White Lily is a symbol of purity, often associated with the Virgin Mary in the Christian and Catholic tradition more particularly.

This is also the Lilly variety used in all the Naturétis’ products. The petals and root contain regenerating molecules and active principles.

The White Lilly petals were a well known remedy to our grand-mothers in Auvergne, Morvan and Bourgogne. They were collecting the petals of a few flowers every year, keeping them in alcohol. There was always a jar of Lilly petals at hand to treat small cuts and bruises of the skin when I was a child.


A small piece of petal applied for the night on a cut or to treat a blister has worked wonders many many times!...

For me, a city girl helping a bit in the farm in the summer, my hands were covered in too or three layers of blisters... Every evening, my grand-mother applied some Lilly petal on my palms, and I was ready to go again working the next morning!

Starting with this traditional family knowledge, Naturétis’ scientists have isolated White Lilly extracts with regenerating powers and use them in all the formula of the range.

This is one of the most essential ingredient of Naturétis DermoCosmetic skincare, and a key reason why they are “Naturally Efficient” as the brand’s motto says...
