About Maggie Tisserand's Herb Essence Products
The Maggie Tisserand ‘Herb Essence’ range of beauty products have until now only been available in Japan. A small selection is now available from Maggie’s website.
Each product has a subtle fragrance (as is required by Japanese culture) and is made as natural as possible; with essential oils and herbal extracts together with some unique ingredients: for example, the moisturizing cream and moisture lotion contain a special Japanese extract from soya bean – natto. Natto is made by a special process of fermentation and is usually eaten with a meal, but when added to a facial cream or lotion, it is one of nature’s best humectants (a humectant helps to retain moisture in the skin).
