Phytessence Plantago

Greco-Roman Secret Becomes 21st Century Skin Care Innovation

 

Known for its unique properties since Greco-Roman times, the plantain is said to have medicinal applications.  Traditionally, the leaves of the plant were used as a topical remedy for skin inflammation.  Croda has moved beyond this tradition and developed PHYTESSENCE PLANTAGO, a new ingredient for skin care.

Using the active component of the plantain leaves, PHYTESSENCE PLANTAGO provides benefits to the skin such as:
  • protection against free radicals
  • anti-bacterial properties
  • reduction in inflammation
PHYTESSENCE PLANTAGO is useful in products designed to protect skin against UV and other harmful environmental or atmospheric stresses and is expected to help reduce free radical formation and inhibit the peroxidation of cell membrane lipids.   Recommended use level: 2 - 7 %
