19.02.2024

Also known as the "Tree of Life", it promises to become the trend-setting active ingredient in the beauty industry. Discover what this elixir can do for your skin.

There is no doubt that nature is wise. That's why, no matter how much technology advances, we continue to find in it an inexhaustible source of help and inspiration. From its natural properties to its ability to beautify the skin, whether in cosmetics or make-up. Just think of vitamin C, the antioxidant par excellence; aloe vera, rosehip, as well as other lesser known but equally powerful natural ingredients. Something like that is happening to lapacho oil, which, despite being almost unknown, promises to become one of the favourites. Do you want to know why?

4 beauty benefits to say yes to lapacho oil

Known as the "tree of life", lapacho can be found in South American landscapes such as Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and Bolivia. Famous for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial qualities, this elixir is also one of the new beauty must-haves. And its multiple properties have a lot to do with it:

Firming: stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin for firmer, more structured skin. 

Brightening: reduces uneven pigmentation, promotes cell renewal and improves skin luminosity for a more radiant and even complexion.

Hydrating:  helps retain moisture in the skin, strengthen the skin barrier, and prevent dryness, resulting in a smoother, healthier complexion.

Improved Aging: helps prevent (and care for) the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, blemishes and other age-related signs.
"In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that this natural ingredient has great benefits for skin care and beautification, working at the cellular level to provide anti-wrinkle, firming, brightening and moisturising benefits…
