Nymphaea Caerulea Flower Extract
A storied Nile botanical carried at 0.1% as a sensorial signature — no proven hair or skin efficacy at this dose, and we say so.
Nymphaea caerulea — the blue lotus of the Nile — is one of antiquity's most storied flowers, carrying flavonoids and aporphine alkaloids.
The mechanism: in the lab, its flavonoid chemistry shows antioxidant activity in vitro. That is the extent of the receipt.
What it does not do: no peer-reviewed trial supports a hair or skin outcome for blue lotus at cosmetic doses. In Tara's water cream it ships at 0.1% as a heritage sensorial signature — the performance is carried by the named actives (niacinamide, bisabolol, the vitamin-C ester), and we say so.
