WHAT IS PEAT?
Peat is created through the slow accumulation of partially decayed vegetation and other organic matter, including mosses, sedges, and shrubs, that collects naturally in various wetland areas, like fens, bogs, marshes, moors, and swamps.
Most modern peat bogs started forming approximately 12,000 years ago in high latitudes after the glaciers retreated at the end of the last ice age. For this reason, most peat deposits are found at higher northern latitudes, including in Finland, whose natural climate, geography, and environment are especially ideal for peat bog formation.

WHY PEAT?
Peat contains potent, bioactive ingredients known for their beneficial effects on various conditions. Its fulvic acid and humic substances shield the skin from free radicals, enhance collagen production, and improve skin elasticity, making it ideal for skin, hair, and scalp treatments. Peat also promotes cell turnover, tightens pores, and exhibits mild astringent and anti-inflammatory properties, benefiting those with psoriasis, eczema, or sensitive skin.
​
Moreover, peat supports internal cleansing and detoxification, making it suitable for whole-body treatments like sauna sessions or peat baths. It boosts blood flow and metabolism, but due to its detoxifying effects, ample hydration is crucial during peat treatments. It's important to note that peat treatments are not recommended during pregnancy.
