DESCRIPTION 

A thorny plant with a soft side, Milk Thistle has long been valued for the resilience hidden within its spiny exterior. Our Milk Thistle Liquid Extract – 100% Natural (Standardized) is concentrated to 12.5% silymarin, a flavonoid compound from the seed that brings antioxidant protection and supports visible renewal in skin care. 

Silymarin is known for helping reduce the appearance of fine lines, roughness, and loss of suppleness, encouraging skin that looks smoother and more resilient. With its calming touch, Milk Thistle also helps ease visible dryness or flakiness, bringing comfort and balance to stressed skin. 

Blended with corn sugar–derived propanediol, this extract slips easily into creams, serums, and masks, offering stability, clarity, and a smooth finish for skin care products designed to renew and restore.
