AgaveUpdated 10 months ago

Agave is a plant that has been used for centuries by the indigenous peoples of Mexico and South America for its positive properties on the human organism. Agave contains a variety of active ingredients known for their skin-caring properties, including:

1. Polysaccharides: agave contains large amounts of polysaccharides, which provide the skin with lasting, long-term moisture and improve the skin's suppleness and elasticity.
2. Saponins: These naturally occurring surfactants help to remove dirt and oil from the skin without drying it out.
3. Antioxidants: Agave is rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and vitamin C, which help to fight free radicals and protect the skin from damage caused by pollution and sun exposure.
4. Amino acids: Agave also contains a variety of amino acids that support the skin's natural moisture levels and promote collagen production to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
5. Minerals: Agave contains minerals such as calcium, iron and magnesium which can help to strengthen and protect the skin.

The dermal availability of agave is particularly high, so that vitamins and nutrients can be absorbed very well by the skin.

Due to its many benefits, agave forms the basis of all our cleansing bars.
