Known since ancient times for its healing properties, a particular plant native to Asia continues to arouse interest today, especially in the cosmetics field. It is a herbaceous plant with round leaves arranged in a rosette, harvested at the time of flowering. Often nicknamed "tiger grass" due to ancient legends related to the animal kingdom, it is used in numerous skin treatments.
It is used to promote peripheral circulation, support skin regeneration, and combat the feeling of heaviness in the legs and ankles. It is often included in formulations dedicated to treating cellulite and preventing loss of skin tone.
This plant is prized for its high content of triterpene saponins, substances that stimulate microcirculation and help drain excess fluids. Its properties make it useful for combating water retention and reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Other compounds present, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and essential oils, have antioxidant properties and promote collagen synthesis. The result is skin that appears firmer, toned, and more even, while preserving the elasticity of vascular walls and reducing swelling and subcutaneous edema. In synergy with other plants with purifying and draining properties, it can be a valuable addition to integrated treatments.
Among the cosmetic formulations that exploit the benefits of this plant, a dry oil spray with a light, rapidly absorbed texture stands out. Its effectiveness is enhanced by a synergy of active ingredients: enzymatically activated vegetable oils (derived from almonds, borage, olive, and flax), known for their nourishing and restorative properties; centella extract for its toning action and improved microcirculation; and ximeninic acid from sandalwood seeds, which helps improve skin firmness and visibly reduce the orange peel effect.
For effective external application, we recommend using the product directly on the affected areas and gently massaging in circular motions. It is recommended to apply it twice daily for a minimum of 3-4 weeks to promote progressive and visible results.
