Horsetail Extract – USDA Organic
Horsetail or ‘Equisetum telmateia’ is native to temperate climates across the Northern Hemisphere. It grows in moist soils. It is an ancient plant dating almost 350 million years to the Devonian period and it has a great recorded history. The horsetail herb is also known by the common name scouring rush. However, it has amazing benefits for your hair and skin.
Horsetail has exceptional antibacterial properties which keep your skin clean without drying out the skin. Moreover, it minimizes the appearance of large pores and gives you firmer and tighter skin. Horsetail boosts collagen production which reduces fine lines and leads to smoother skin. Furthermore, it is very soothing to your skin that helps restores irritated skin. It is great for dry, flaky, itchy, red skin.
Finally, as for hair, the horsetail extract stimulates hair follicles, promotes hair growth, and strengthens hair fiber.
To use horsetail extract for skin or hair, it can be incorporated into various skincare and haircare products such as creams, serums, shampoos, conditioners, or masks. Additionally, some individuals use it as a standalone treatment by applying it directly to the skin or scalp, although it’s essential to follow recommended dilution guidelines to avoid irritation.
As with any natural extract, it’s a good practice to perform a patch test before using horsetail extract extensively to ensure that it does not cause any adverse reactions on your skin or scalp.
