Willow

saliceSalix alba bark extract

White willow (Salix alba L. of the Salicaeae family) is a tree that grows wild in Central and South Europe, in cool, damp places near the river banks. The bark extract is used in cosmetics for the high tannin content, with a healing, disinfectant, astringent effect. White willow bark also provides salicylic, a compound that is brokendown in the organism to create salicylic acid, the active ingredient of aspirin, with a toning, anti-rheumatic, antipyretics, anti-fermentative and astringent capacity. Salicylic acid also has a keratolytic action, or rather, it helps detach high quantities of dead cells on the scalp in the event of persistent dandruff, thereby normalising scaling levels.

Grape vine

viteVitis vinifera leaf extract

The common grape vine or Eurasian vine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a climbing shrub of the Vitaceae family. It is the most commonly cultivated vine and is currently present in all continents except for the Antarctic. Vine leaves, which turn red in the autumn, feature an important concentration of polyphenols and anthocyanins, substances with an antioxidant action that are particularly useful in stimulating the microcirculation and preventing skin ageing. Vine leaf extract is therefore particularly recommended for facial creams, to restore tone and light to the skin. The red vine phytocomplex supplies nourishment and rejuvenates, giving new lymph and vitality to skin after the stress of everyday life.
