Expensive skincare products often carry a premium due to their high-quality ingredients and advanced formulations but Wildfleur is a new skincare brand committed to maximizing the availability of clinically proven actives with cost-conscious products.
New York-based Tanushri Shah founded and developed Wildfleur after discovering a South Korean lab using bioactives found in marigold flowers to develop a stabilized form of 15 percent L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C.) As a result, the brand's XC15 15% Pure Vitamin C + Xanthophyll - Marigold brightening serum was born.
Wildfleur is introducing itself to consumers with seven products with a focus on brightening, hydrating, renewing, and clarifying. Other notable releases include BR0.3, a renewing serum that pairs intermediate-strength retinoid with bakuchiol for beginners and those with sensitive skin. Although these graceful aging ingredients are often viewed in opposition, Wildfleur treats them as partners, not alternatives.
