CERTIFIED ORGANIC NINEBARK STEM POWDER

Ninebark stem powder is an emerging, specialized botanical ingredient in cosmetics. Because it is harvested from the unique peeling bark and fibrous stems of the plant, it offers a dual benefit: it acts as a gentle physical texturizer while delivering powerful active chemical compounds to the skin.

Here is a short list of the key compounds found in ninebark stem powder and their cosmetic benefits:

Polyphenols & Flavonoids: Acts as a potent antioxidant shield. It neutralizes free radicals from UV rays and pollution, which prevents premature aging and helps maintain skin elasticity.

Natural Tyrosinase Inhibitors: Brightens skin tone. These compounds slow down tyrosinase (the enzyme responsible for producing melanin), helping to fade hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone.

Collagenase Inhibitors: Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By blocking collagenase (the enzyme that breaks down our skin's natural collagen), it helps keep the skin structurally firm and plump.

Tannins: Tightens pores and regulates oil. Tannins act as a natural astringent, helping to minimize the appearance of large pores and balance excess sebum (oil) production.

Natural Plant Cellulose & Fibers: Provides gentle physical exfoliation. When finely milled into a powder, the cellular structure of the stem physically sloughs away dead skin cells without creating micro-tears, leaving the skin smooth and radiant.
