Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract is a clear orange to brown liquid, a natural ingredient called “The Lance Against Skin Damage,” as it reduces signs of aging due to its antioxidant properties. The Plantain plant is also known to have anti-inflammatory properties, attributed to its Acteoside content.
The Plantago plant or Plantain is native to Central and Western Europe and can also be found in Asia. The leaves of this unique plant have been known for their anti-inflammatory properties since Greco-Roman times and were traditionally used as a topical remedy for treating skin inflammation.
Acteoside is a glycoside, the active principle of Plantain, and has several properties: anti-inflammatory, free radical scavenging, and antibacterial. It has been proven effective in preventing superoxide anion formation and inhibiting lipid peroxidation.
