Equisetum Arvense Extract

Equisetum Arvense Extract is derived from the field horsetail plant, one of the oldest surviving plant species on Earth, known for its exceptionally high silica content (up to 25% by weight). This ancient botanical extract is valued in cosmetics for its natural silica compounds that help strengthen and smooth skin texture, while its flavonoids and phenolic acids provide antioxidant protection. Formulators choose horsetail extract specifically for its unique ability to deliver bioavailable silica along with astringent properties that can help tighten and tone the skin.
