Botanical beauty brand Yves Rocher claims the title of No. 1 skin care in France. Launching in February, following 12 years of research, is its new Elixir 7.9, which boasts 7 plants from various regions of the world, infused with anti-aging properties that are protected by 9 patents. The formulation promises to smooth wrinkles and signs of fatigue. Products include night and day creams (available in three skin type formulations), serum, and eye care roll-on ($33-$48). The line is part of the brand’s “One product purchased equals one tree planted program,” and eco refills are available for the day and night care jars. Just pop out the empty, remove the protective cover from the refill, and pop back into the jar. Not only will you save money, you’ll help reduce consumption of plastic.
