Echinacea purpurea extract

Echinacea purpurea extract is known for its antibacterial and immunostimulatory effects. The value of its essence is determined by its high content of polysaccharides, essential oils, enzymes, macro- (such as potassium, calcium) and microelements (such as selenium, cobalt, silver, molybdenum, zinc, manganese, etc.), organic acids (such as palmitic, linoleic, or cerotinic), betaine and polyamides.

Echinacea purpurea extract is widely used as an antiviral, anti-allergic and antimicrobial agent. It aids wound healing by accelerating new skin cell formation and prevents infection.

Echinacea purpurea extract enhances the natural defense mechanisms of the skin and improves the cell metabolic processes. It results in higher production of natural collagen, elastin and protein fibers responsible for skin elasticity.
