Berkem Skin’calm (R0756)

CAS Number: 89957-93-7
EC Number: 289-615-5
INCI Name: Robinia Pseudoacacia Flower Extract

Robinia pseudoacacia was brought over from the Appalachian Mountains by a British naturalist, John Tradescant. Tradescant traded seeds with Jean Robin, Henri IV’s botanist, who introduced the Robinia pseudoacacia to his garden in Paris in the 16th century. Legend has it that this rapidly growing tree, whose wood possesses rot-proof properties, was cultivated by American settlers, and spread abundantly across the entire territory. Its beautiful clusters of white flowers, that smell like orange blossom, are a firm favorite of bees, resulting in high quality honey, and of people, who use the flowers to make fritters.
