ChicaloteUpdated 10 months ago

Chicalote is a plant that is also known as Argemone mexicana and has its origins in Mexico. The plant is often used in traditional medicine and has various benefits for the skin.

One of the main uses of chicalote on the skin is the treatment of skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. The plant contains compounds such as alkaloids and flavonoids that have anti-inflammatory properties and can help to reduce redness and swelling.

Chicalote is particularly helpful for cleansing the skin, one reason why we use it in our Detox Bar.

It has antibacterial properties. These help to treat acne and other skin infections such as fungal acne.

The plant also contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radical damage and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Important information: Chicalote can also contain toxic compounds, especially in the seeds and in higher doses. Therefore, our formulations with chicalote are always created under the supervision of a physician and herbalist. We do not recommend purchasing the plant on its own and using it for homemade masks or skin care products.
