Before the skincare industry existed to sell women solutions to their skin, those same women were drinking them. Nettle pulled from the garden. Rosehips from the hedgerow. Mineral-rich infusions made from what grew nearby, drunk daily — not as vanity, but as nourishment. Women in the south of France understood what skin needed because they watched it and fed it over generations, long before a clinical trial confirmed what they already knew.

La Vie Tea's Skin Glow blend is a six-ingredient botanical infusion built on that tradition — not as a supplement with a label claim, but as a daily ritual with real plants doing real work.

Organic Rosehips (Rosa canina) are one of the most vitamin C-dense foods in the plant kingdom — in a volume comparison, rosehips contain more vitamin C than oranges, and that vitamin C is accompanied by bioflavonoids that help the body absorb and use it. Vitamin C is the rate-limiting factor in collagen synthesis: without adequate levels, the collagen production machinery stalls. Rosehip polyphenols also have documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that show up visibly over time as firmness, tone, and a clarity that doesn't come from topical application.

Organic Nettle (Urtica dioica) is the mineral delivery system of this blend — dense in silica (structural integrity for skin, hair, and nails), iron (oxygen delivery to skin tissue), chlorophyll, and a spectrum of trace minerals that most diets don't reliably supply. Silica specifically supports the collagen matrix — it's the mineral that keeps connective tissue organized and resilient.

Organic Lemon Verbena (Aloysia citrodora) contains verbascoside — a polyphenol studied for its antioxidant activity and its capacity to protect cellular membranes from oxidative damage. It's also gently digestive and calming, contributing to the smooth finish the blend delivers.

Organic Calendula — herbalists have trusted it for skin for centuries and for good reason: its faradiol esters are among the most effective plant compounds for reducing skin inflammation and supporting wound healing. Internally, it acts as a lymphatic and digestive tonic that supports the skin's ability to clear.

Organic Lavender contributes calming compounds that work on both the nervous system (reducing the cortisol that disrupts the skin's repair cycle) and the skin tissue directly — antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, gently regulatory.

Organic Orange Peel brings hesperidin, naringenin, and other citrus bioflavonoids that support vascular integrity (relevant to undereye circulation and skin tone) and contribute natural vitamin C alongside the rosehips.

The blend tastes grounded and herbaceous with a clean floral note and a smooth finish. Not medicinal. Not sweet. The kind of tea you'd choose to drink even without the benefit.
