036 Le Nude Arzica

THE ESSENCE

Smooth . Modern . Radiant

THE COLOUR

The embodiment of a magical sunrise over ancient Nubia, as the tawny ochres of age-old limestone temples are set ablaze by the glowing reddish tones of cinnamon and nutmeg.

A soft texture for a light, translucent finish.

THE PIGMENT

Weld – Reseda luteola – is a typically Mediterranean plant. It was used by medieval illuminators, who knew it by its Italian name, Arzica. From the 1st to the 10th centuries CE, from Egypt to Palestine, it was the main source of yellow-orange dye for silks, and for wool for large floral-print kilim carpets from eastern Anatolia.

This pigment is renowned for its incredible biological qualities.

A VIRTUOUS FORMULA

*The outer layers of the skin.
