Honeybush is not a single plant; it's a genus of 20 species called Cyclopia from the Fabaceae family. It used a famous beverage, a natural herbal caffeine-free tea, which leaves several beneficial effects. In traditional medicine, Honeybush is used to cure several conditions, including skin rashes, so its anti-inflammatory properties have been known for centuries.

Besides its anti-inflammatory action, scientists have revealed Cyclopia Genistoides leaf extract's antioxidant, antimutagenic, phytoestrogenic, and antimicrobial effects. Rich in phenolic compounds such as Mangiferin, Hesperidin, Hesperetin, and Isosakuranetin with significant antioxidant activities, Honeybush extract protects the skin against damaging environmental factors, improves the lipid barrier, and lessens signs of aging.

Clinical studies showed that formulations with Cyclopia Genistoides leaf extract improve skin surface smoothness, decrease scaliness, and scavenge free radicals, leaving a significant synergistic anti-aging effect.
