Swiss Cress Sprout (Lepidium Sativum, also known as Garden cress) is an edible herb high in vitamins A, C, and K, with multiple beneficial effects on the skin. In numerous countries, it's used in herbal medicine for antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory action.
Rich in Sulforaphane, a natural, proven brightening ingredient, Swiss garden cress sprout extract decreases melanin production by regulating tyrosinase enzyme activity. This reveals a more illuminated complexion and prevents future pigment formation.
Lepidium Sativum extract is a perfect detoxification agent that activates phase II detoxification enzymes, eliminating pollutants, allergens, and reactive substances from the skin and leaving a significant anti-aging effect.
