BotanicaTIMOLA Nat

BotanicaTIMOLA® Nat is derived from the Bulbine frutescens (L.) Willd plant. It is native to South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland and Namibia. People in these areas have been familiar with the plant for generations, using the leaf juice as a remedy for gastro-intestinal ailments and skin conditions. The juice relieves discomfort quickly and expedites the skin recovery process.

Scientific analysis of BotanicaTIMOLA® Nat has shown that the product leads to an increased water and particularly glycerol content in human skin. Public studies show that reduced water/glycerol content leads to decreased hydration and elasticity. This is found in aged skin. BotanicaTIMOLA® Nat therefore reduces signs of ageing and increases skin hydration and elasticity.

Very interesting is the influence on Aquaporin-3 (AQP-3) expression. AQP-3 is a small membrane protein found in human skin and facilitates the water and glycerol transport in the basal layer of the epidermis. Enhanced AQP-3 expression leads to an increased water and particularly glycerol content in human skin. Public studies show that reduced water/glycerol content leads to decreased hydration and elasticity. This is found, for example, in aged skin.

The minimum order quantity is 1 kg.

BotanicaTIMOLA® Nat can be easily incorporated into the water phase of cosmetic formulations. The recommended usage level is 2% to 5%.
