Gypsophila hides a precious treasure beneath its rustic appearance. When in bloom, tiny white flowers cluster together to create a delicate, airy look that has led to its nickname of "Baby's Breath". Gypsophila root was used by both doctors and laundry workers alike for its diuretic, eliminating and cleansing powers. Clarins Laboratories today uses gypsophila root for its cleansing and foaming properties that purify skin.
