Escin

Escin, also known as aescin, is a substance that scientists extract from the horse chestnut tree. It is a mixture of triterpenoid saponins, or substances that are characterised by their ability to form foam in water. Due to its unique properties, escin is widely used in many fields, but especially in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. It is not without interest that one of the main characteristics of escin is that it can bind to noxious and other sugars in the body.

In the cosmetic industry, escin, or aescin, is often used in the manufacture of creams, preparations and other products that aim to reduce swelling, improve skin elasticity or increase blood microcirculation. Due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effect, it is a very popular ingredient in products against cellulite, leg swelling, as well as hemorrhoids. Escin is also used in cosmetic products for skin care. In these products, it helps to fight skin aging, improving its elasticity and firmness.

In pharmaceuticals, escin is often found in medicines and dietary supplements, as it has the ability to improve circulation, reduce swelling and inflammation and can act as an antioxidant. It is also often used in herbal teas and tinctures for its beneficial effects on the vein walls. Escin is also included in many natural dietary supplements, for example to support foot and knee health, as it can help to reduce swelling and pain.
