Nordic forests have played a significant role in Norse mythology and folklore, often associated with concepts like mystery, magic, change, and connection to nature. In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil, the World Tree, is a prominent symbol that represents the universe. It is believed to connect different realms and serve as the axis of the world, whilst the vast forests also holds symbolic meaning in terms of strength and endurance across these lands.
Additionally, the forest represents a connection to nature and the preservation of biodiversity. It is recognized as a vital ecosystem, providing habitat for a wide variety of plant and animal species. The preservation and sustainable management of Nordic forests are important for maintaining biodiversity and supporting the overall health of the planet - something that the lands which take care of this region are totally committed to.
Algae
Algae covers thousands of different species, but generally we refer to - and recognise mostly -kelp, spirulina and seaweed (of which of course, there are many varieties that you can spot on just one visit to the beach). Algae is not new to skincare but is gaining prominence as we are searching for more natural resources and also as we learn more about it's benefits on the skin and the body in general.
Berries
There is such an abundance of wild grown berries that fall into any known category of 'superfoods' which are native to the Nordic lands. Those that contain the highest amounts of vitamin C of all the berries, those that are small and hardy and withstand extreme temperatures and yet will survive year after year and deliver shrubs full of antioxidant-rich berries in a broad spectrum of colours.
