About

Ancient ginkgo tree leaf powder — one of the oldest living plant species, known for antioxidant support.

Ginkgo biloba leaf contains flavonoid glycosides and terpenoid lactones (ginkgolides, bilobalide) with well-documented antioxidant and circulation-enhancing effects. However, ginkgo is listed in EU Annex IV (allowed colourants and perfumes) rather than being unrestricted. Ginkgo biloba extract has a specific entry in the EU Cosmetics Regulation. The powder form presents lower risk, but standardised extracts are preferred in practice. Rare reports of contact allergy exist.
