drugs and cosmetic products have replaced those plants, and we have mostly forgotten about their useful properties.
Weed Beautification is a research about the possibilities that three selected local weeds (Yarrow, Comfrey and Plantain) offer in the fields of skincare and beautification. Sarah-Linda Forrer re-explored the healing and regenerating properties of these plants by creating salves, oils and scrubs, extracting the healing and beautifying powers to apply it onto the skin.
To ennoble these weeds and the proces of creating skin healing substances, she has designed a ritualistic collection of vessels and tools out of stone and bronze, to prepare the herbs for use in luxurious, pure and natural skin care products.
Along this collection, Sarah-Linda made illustrations and a booklet containing a few simple skincare recipes and stories about the plants, as an inspiration for people to change their view on weeds, and discover their fascinating beauty and health properties.
