Alfalfa "Alfalfa has an abundance of vitamins (such as B6, B12, D and K, to name a few) and minerals (such as calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and potassium) that are helpful in keeping the skin healthy and glowing," says Jessica Morelli, founder and chief formulator of Palermo Body. Because of its high levels of vitamin A, Morelli says that alfalfa can also be used as a natural retinol which has been found to help to increase the production of both collagen and new blood vessels in the skin. In addition, she notes that alfalfa is also known for its high levels of chlorophyll and phytonutrients, which are rich in antioxidants that help reduce and slow cell damage while aiding in the detoxification and purification of skin.
Alfalfa is found in the Palermo Body Detox Facial Mask Sea Clay + Spirulina, $38, which Morelli says can be used to promote the skin's natural healing process and for an overall clearer complexion.
