This mix is supposedly the very first herbal beauty product ever developed and marketed. Some say that it was specially made for the 70 year-old Queen of Hungary in the 1300’s to restore her youthfulness. According to the legend, the skin tonic took off so many years, that the old cougar was proposed to by the 25 year-old grand-duke of Lithuania! Others say that this recipe was made by early Gypsies and sold as a cure-all for beauty and medical ailments.
Anyhoo, it is loaded with all kind of herbal goodies to tone, soothe and balance skin. Looks awesome for a hair rinse as well.
