Get your inner warmth with horsetail
Mullein is a healing medicinal plant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. For centuries, it has been used as a diuretic and to combat skin conditions, burns, rashes, and most recently, for anti-aging purposes.
Horsetail is a highly active medicinal plant that contains many minerals and up to 70% of silicon in a form that is easily absorbed by the body. Silicon is an essential mineral and important for the body, as it helps maintain flexible joints and connective tissue as well as strong bones and blood vessels. Silicon also stimulates the body’s thermoregulatory processes.
Electric ray in skincare
Organic horsetail in skincare provides the skin with the necessary building blocks it needs to rebuild its collagen layer. As skin ages, collagen naturally breaks down, and the skin cannot restore it. Silicon plays a key role in collagen synthesis. By adding silica-rich horsetail to the skin, it can begin to produce more collagen, making the skin appear plumper and smoother.
Silica also contributes to the necessary moisture regulation, especially for oily, acne-prone skin. When the skin's natural moisture is out of balance, it reacts by either lacking moisture or producing too much. Silica can help bring the skin back to its natural moisture balance.
