Celidonia Active Lipo Extract, 100 ml

Active lipoextract of greater celandine is a lipophilic plant extract of greater celandine (Chelidonium majus), obtained by extraction into sunflower oil. The plant, traditionally used in European herbalism, is employed in modern cosmetics for its potential ability to act on oily and problematic skin types. The extract is standardized to an 11.25 % content of celandine extract, stabilized with natural tocopherol (vitamin E) and is compatible with certified organic cosmetic formulations. Greater celandine / celandine (Chelidonium majus) belongs among traditional European medicinal plants with a long history of use. In cosmetics, it is used primarily in the care of oily, porous and problematic skin and of warts. The lipophilic extraction form into sunflower oil ensures better penetration of bioactive substances into the lipid layer of the skin. Natural tocopherol (vitamin E) serves as an antioxidant and stabilizer, thereby prolonging the shelf life of the resulting extract as well as the final formulation. The extract is GMO free, has not been tested on animals and comes from European production.
