LYCIUM CHINENSE FRUIT/SAFFLOWER FLOWER/ROOT/PORIA COCOS EXTRACT

Description

LYCIUM CHINENSE FRUIT/SAFFLOWER FLOWER/ROOT/PORIA COCOS EXTRACT is a potent botanical blend that harnesses the synergistic properties of three traditional Asian medicinal plants. This multi-faceted extract combines the antioxidant-rich Lycium chinense fruit (goji berry), the anti-inflammatory safflower, and the adaptogenic Poria cocos fungus.

Lycium chinense fruit contributes high levels of vitamins A and C, along with zeaxanthin, which provides protective benefits against UV damage and oxidative stress. Safflower components offer skin-soothing properties and help improve moisture retention, while its root extract contains compounds that may promote collagen synthesis.

Poria cocos, a fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine, contains beta-glucans and triterpenes that exhibit antioxidant and immunomodulating effects. These compounds can help strengthen the skin barrier and improve overall skin resilience.

This extract blend is particularly beneficial for addressing multiple skin concerns simultaneously, including signs of aging, inflammation, and dehydration. Its comprehensive approach to skin health makes it a valuable ingredient in various skincare formulations, from serums to moisturizers. The extract is suitable for most skin types and can be especially beneficial for mature or stressed skin.
