What Is Ginkgo Biloba Extract?
The maidenhair tree, known scientifically as Ginkgo biloba, is one of the oldest tree species on earth and one of the most valuable plant extracts nature offers us. Obtained from the leaves of this tree, which has survived for centuries and is also called a "living fossil", the extracts are a powerful antioxidant source much talked about in the cosmetics world. Thanks to the rich flavonoids and polyphenols they contain, they are known for their protective, invigorating and renewing effects in skincare. Supporting the skin's natural defence mechanism against the environmental factors of daily life, Ginkgo biloba is a special active reflecting the power of nature that we often choose in the carefully prepared formulas of Lacinia cosmetic products. While helping to increase the skin's resistance to external factors, it also contributes to a fresher appearance.
