The Beech tree (Fagus sylvatica L.) lives for about 200-250 years riching approximately 130 feet in height and is often called “the ever-lasting youth tree”. It has been used in gemmotherapy and cosmetics since the sixties when scientists found the great potential hidden in the Beech tree buds.
Fagus sylvatica buds contain highly active hormones (phytostimulines), flavonoids, and peptides similar to every embryo, which boost energetic activity, cellular metabolism, and rapid growth from the dormant stage to vigorous bloom. It is a very short period that takes a week or two when buds are rich in phytostimulines, so botanists use this "small window" for a fast qualitative harvest of this valuable raw material.
Fagus Sylvatica bud extract is a natural active ingredient used in skincare applications and dermatological preparations with significant anti-aging action. This botanical extract visibly lessens fine lines and wrinkles, exposing a smoother, healthy, and radiant appearance.
Raising the oxygen uptake, Fagus Sylvatica bud extract boosts skin cells metabolism, increasing protein production by keratinocytes and improving the overall condition of the epidermis (outer layer of the skin). It enhances the moisturization level of the skin while noticeably reducing microrelief. Fagus Sylvatica bud extract is a safe natural ingredient for high-end skincare products with holistic action against skin aging.Related ingredients
