Silymarin

Silymarin is a powerful antioxidant derived from the Milk Thistle plant (Silybum Marianum) and has been used for a wide range of therapeutic purposes in traditional medicine for thousands of years.

In addition to being an effective antioxidant that helps prevent skin damage caused by free radicals, Silymarin may also help prevent the oxidation of lipids on the skin’s surface. It can reduce and alter the nature of the sebum in the pilosebaceous unit.
