This article reports our research to develop a synergistic blend of natural plant extracts that can assist in restoring the "imbalanced" skin of an aged individual to a state of equilibrium.
A proprietary blend of enriched extracts of Centella asiatica (gotu kola), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) and Echinacea angustafolia (echinacea) has been clinically evaluated and shown to exhibit unique cosmetic properties that result in a decrease in sagging of skin, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and an increase in firmness of skin. In balancing both the rates of growth and degradation in aged skin, it stands to reason that the visible signs of aging could be reduced and equilibrium restored.
