Ashland captures the kiss of the wind and the dance of the woods to defy skin ageing

Inspired by ancient rituals and forest therapy, Ashland Santalwood biofunctional, is a natural extract from Santalum album that captures the melodic kiss of the wind and dance of the woods to fuel ethereal beauty, an inner fire and outward glow.

It is the first biofunctional to be developed by Ashland with Artificial Intelligence (AI) for well aging that helps transform skin’s appearance from dull and lifeless to vibrant and glowing.

Ashland’s new approach to well-aging through skin olfactory receptors helps mitigates skin damage induced by air pollutants for healthier-looking skin.
