Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

« Back to Glossary Index

The extract derived from the flower, leaf, or stem of Epilobium angustifolium, commonly known as fireweed and found in grasslands of northern Canada, is rich in molecules with antioxidant and antibacterial properties. It primarily fights against P. acnes, the bacterium that leads to acne. Additionally, it has been used for topical application as a healing agent to treat skin conditions such as minor burns, rashes, ulcers, and infections, and also to alleviate inflammation of the ear, nose, and throat. Thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory features, it can be used as a gentle face cleanser for sensitive skin, and its antibacterial qualities can effectively combat Propionibacterium Acnes, the bacteria causing acne.
