Kerastase fans rest easy: the rumor that the company’s super popular Bain Satin 2 and Lait Vital have been discontinued are FALSE. The good news is that Kerastase has taken its best selling Bains 1 and 2, Lait Vital, and both of its Masque Intense formulas and made them even better!
How do you improve a beloved product? By adding the amazing restorative powers of Iris Rhizome. This plant adapts to extreme dryness AND extreme moisture. Iris stems grow horizontally over the surface of the earth, rather than vertically skyward. This gives them an amazing ability to store the moisture collected by underground roots. To adjust to wetter conditions the rhizome (stems), stalks, and leaves have protective layers to keep them from drying out. The top of each new leaf looks as if it is covered with dew but these droplets come from inside the plant to give the iris its own microclimate, keeping it smooth and soft.
Interesting Iris Factoids: Ancient Greeks knew the value of the moisture-guarding iris; it has been used in creams and perfumes for more than 3,000 years. The Middle Ages grew iris grown for this use in Britain. Test it for yourself: Dip a clove-studded orange in dried iris (orris root) powder. It will stay fresh for months, whereas an untreated pomander will quickly dry and rot. Makes you even more grateful for Kerastase’s iris improvements!
