We’ve done extensive research to find the ‘holy grail’ natural ingredients to include in our skincare that will bring optimal health to your skin. Horsetail is one of those ingredients and I am obsessed with the benefits it offers. We source premium organic horsetail and infuse it into organic unrefined apricot oil to be used in our holistic serum as well as our body elixir. Used since ancient times, this medicinal plant:
🌱 Cleanses and detoxifies the skin. It is antibacterial and antimicrobial and will naturally help to unclog pores, making them appear smaller in the process.
🌱 Tightens and firms the skin. Horsetail is rich in silica, which helps to promote collagen production (which slows as we age and is essentially the foundation of healthy skin). It will make the skin look and feel firmer, while encouraging elastin production making the skin more supple.
🌱 Improves texture and tone of skin. Horsetail contains smoothing properties, is high in antioxidants, and is loaded with vitamins promoting deep hydration and soft, even skin tone. Plus, the high silica content contributes to the flexibility and resiliency of connective tissues for skin that looks and feels its best.
🌱 Anti-inflammatory properties. Horsetail works beautifully on sensitive skin as it’s very gentle (no known allergen or immunotoxicity issues), reduces redness and irritation, and can even calm down areas of stress in the skin.
🌱 Protects against free radicals (that can age and damage the skin). The natural antioxidant properties of horsetail protect against environmental damage.
When looking for horsetail in skincare, make sure it's in it's raw, unrefined form in order to provide optimal nutrition to your skin!
