About

Steam-distilled ginkgo leaf water — from one of the oldest living tree species, known for circulation-supporting properties.

Ginkgo biloba leaf water contains flavonoids and ginkgolides. While widely used in supplements, ginkgo is listed in EU Annex III (restricted substances) for cosmetic use due to its allergen potential. Ginkgolic acids are known skin irritants and sensitisers. Maximum safe cosmetic concentration is typically 50 ppm ginkgolic acids.
