What is the milk thistle?

Milk thistle is a flowering plant that comes from the same family of plants as the daisy. The flower blooms in red and purple colour. While originally grown only in Asia and southern parts of Europe, it’s now successfully cultivated around the world. The main component of milk thistle seeds is silymarin, but the terms “milk thistle” and “silymarin” often are used interchangeably, you may find “milk thistle” is more popular. 

Apart from its wonderful benefits for health in general such as reducing cholesterol, supporting weight loss or balancing blood sugar, milk thistle is also trusted by skincare experts to create a variety of natural-friendly products.

 

Benefits of milk thistle for skin health?

 

Slow down the ageing process

It is no doubt that one of the most visible signs of ageing is the condition of our skin. It becomes more vulnerable, loses fat and looks less plump and smooth. While these signs appear at different times among different people, many scientists believe that around the age of 25, our skin starts ageing, leading to other skin troubles. 

The Thistle seeds contain flavonoid silymarin that has shown in scientific studies to help to keep the liver away from toxic chemicals, including certain drugs like Tylenol (acetaminophen).

Due to antioxidants and anti-inflammatory features of Milk thistle, it protects the skin from the free radical damage and from the pollutants that surround us every day. Moreover, when it is utilised optimally, it can protect us against UVA and UVB damage mostly found in the sunlight. All of those factors are scientifically recognised as main reasons causing skin ageing problems. 

 

Natural nutrients for skin

Milk thistle contains fatty acid, including Linoleic acid which shores up the skin’s natural moisture barrier. In addition to this, milk thistle is also a source of vitamin E with protective benefits. The extracts from this plant can be designed for different skin types, even sensitive skin.
