【Anastatica Hierochuntica Extract】

Rating: BEST
Benefits: Soothing, Anti-Aging
Categories: Antioxidant, Plant Extracts

Anastatica hierochuntica extract comes from a desert-growing plant known as Rose of Jericho. Like some other plants, Anastatica hierochuntica can survive in harsh climactic conditions, including extra-dry environments. However, what allows a plant to do this in nature doesn’t exactly translate when the extract is applied to skin. That said, certain aspects of the plant should help skin better withstand environmental assault and hence have an anti-aging effect.

Research has shown that this plant extract is a potent antioxidant and soothing ingredient, although it isn’t as well-researched as many other plants more widely used in cosmetics. Still, it’s an intriguing ingredient that along with antioxidant benefit may also improve skin tone by modulating factors in skin’s surface that trigger discoloration.

Of note, phytochemical studies of Anastatica hierochuntica have shown it contains the beneficial compound quercetin.

This plant has a long history of use in folk medicine and is indigenous to the Middle East and parts of North Africa.
