The History of Arnica in Skincare

For centuries, arnica has held a special place in traditional medicine, particularly within European folk remedies. The herb, known as Arnica montana, thrives in the mountainous regions of Europe and North America. Historically, it has been cherished for its gentle, anti-inflammatory qualities, especially when addressing bruises and minor injuries. As we transitioned into the 20th century, cosmetic companies began recognizing its potential, gradually incorporating it into various skincare formulations.

• Used in European folk medicine for over 500 years.
• Favored by Native American tribes for healing wounds.
• Documented in medical literature since the 16th century.
• Modern skincare adoption began in the 1900s with botanical extracts.
