DESCRIPTION
For skin that needs a little pick-me-up (or giddyup), Horse Chestnut – Botanical Extract brings deep-rooted benefits to the surface. Derived from the seeds of the Aesculus hippocastanum tree and standardized to 20% Aescin, this extract is known for its skin-toning, de-puffing, and antioxidant-rich properties.
Used in traditional European remedies, Horse Chestnut is cherished for its venotonic properties, helping to support healthy-looking circulation and reduce the appearance of redness, fatigue, and uneven tone. Its natural blend of saponins and antioxidants makes it a versatile choice for formulations targeting tired skin, swelling in joints, or sensitive areas.
