Product Description
Milk Thistle Extract is a natural plant-based ingredient derived from the Milk Thistle plant (Silybum marianum). It is rich in bioactive compounds known as flavonoids, particularly silymarin, which has been widely studied for its potential health benefits. This extract is extracted from the seeds of Milk Thistle using advanced extraction methods to ensure its purity and potency.
Functions
Moisturizing and Nourishing
Milk Thistle Extract has hydrating properties, helping to retain moisture in the skin and improve its overall hydration levels. It also provides essential nutrients that nourish the skin, leaving it healthy and supple.
Skin Brightening
The extract contains components that can inhibit the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Regular use of Milk Thistle Extract can help even out the skin tone and enhance its natural radiance.
Skin Soothing
Milk Thistle Extract possesses anti-inflammatory properties that help calm and soothe irritated or sensitive skin. It can be particularly beneficial for those with acne-prone or easily irritated skin.
Extraction Methods
In DB FloraLuxe, we utilize two commonly used extraction methods to obtain high-quality Milk Thistle Extract: UV (Ultraviolet) and HPLC (High-performance liquid chromatography).
The UV extraction method involves using UV light to extract the active compounds from the plant material. This method is known for its simplicity and effectiveness in extracting flavonoids such as silymarin. It is a non-destructive method that preserves the natural integrity of the extract.
On the other hand, HPLC extraction is a more advanced technique that separates the individual components of the Milk Thistle Extract based on their chemical properties. It allows for precise and accurate measurement of the concentration of bioactive compounds, ensuring consistent quality and potency.
