Description
Ginkgo Biloba Extract – Antioxidant Shield and Skin Revitalization
Ginkgo Biloba Extract is an exceptional botanical ingredient obtained by macerating the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree in a vegetable glycerin base. Known as a "living fossil" due to its millennia-old resilience, Ginkgo Biloba is a prized plant in regenerative cosmetics. This natural extract is rich in flavonoids and terpenoids, providing the skin with superior antioxidant protection against oxidative stress and environmental factors. It is the ideal choice for revitalizing tired skin, evening out skin tone, and supporting the epidermis’s natural vitality.
