Lily Extract

Description

White Lily Extract.

Offers calming and veinotonic benefits to the skin.

Lily extract’s veinotonic properties offer support for the fine blood vessels (capillaries) in the complexion and therefore would provide therapeutic remedies for skin issues that affect the capillaries and circulation such as dark under eye circles (typically caused by weaknesses in the fine capillary network under the eye). The extract can also benefit conditions such as rosacea.

Given the properties described above Lily Extract would combine well with Centella Asiatica and Horse Chestnut Extracts both of which have veinotonic benefits
