Butcher's broom: stabilizes your blood vessels and reduces redness

Butcher's Broom Extract (Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract) helps balance blood circulation in the skin. It is ideal for rosacea/couperose because it reduces redness caused by blood circulation.

Butcher's Broom is an evergreen shrub common in Mediterranean countries.

Butcher's broom extract contains the saponins ruscin, ruscogenin and neo-ruscogenin and the alkaloid sparteine. Butcher's broom is a healthy alternative to vitamin K1, which has been banned in cosmetics since 2009. Butcher's broom has anti-inflammatory effects and stabilizes superficial blood vessels, thereby reducing skin redness and swelling.

In cases of rosacea/couperose, external stimuli such as cold, heat, spicy food, or triggering skincare lead to redness.

In people without rosacea/couperose, the vascular system quickly contracts again after dilating. If blood circulation is stimulated in rosacea/couperose, the alternation between vessel dilation and constriction is disrupted. As a result, the vascular system remains dilated for longer. This leads to redness caused by blood flow. Butcher's broom can act as a strong venous vasoconstrictor here. This means that butcher's broom constricts the vascular system, thereby increasing blood flow through the smallest network of blood vessels in the body: the arterioles, capillaries, and venules (microcirculation) in the long term. This reduces redness in the long term.

Butcher's broom also has a refreshing and soothing effect and helps with heavy, swollen legs.

The ruscogenins contained in butcher's broom have a toning effect on the veins and inhibit the breakdown of enzymes involved in the breakdown of the venous supporting fiber elastin.

No serum or cream can simply erase cellulite. You can care for your legs and strengthen them with butcher's broom. Cellulite is a normal physical condition in biologically female individuals, which occurs when fat cells in the subcutaneous tissue exert pressure on the overlying connective tissue. In biologically female individuals, these connective tissue fibers are longitudinally striped and run parallel, unlike in biologically male individuals. In biologically male individuals, the connective tissue fibers are transversely striped and structured like a net. If pressure pushes the fat cells, which are located in the subcutaneous tissue, to the side, they can more easily pass through the longitudinally striped connective tissue. This creates visible small dimples that resemble the skin of an orange. Hence the name "orange peel skin" for cellulite. Such a pattern cannot occur with transversely striped connective tissue. Cellulite is therefore a gender-specific natural condition.
