Glycoin, also known as Myrothamnus flabellifolia, is an extract full of useful ingredients that is extracted from a plant of similar name native to South Africa. This plant is adaptogenic, meaning it can adapt to extreme environmental conditions, and survive even in harsh drought or frost. Thanks to its unique abilities, this plant has been a great success in the cosmetic industry, where its extract is used in a wide range of cosmetic products.

Glycoin is particularly found in anti-ageing cosmetics as it acts as a powerful antioxidant. It also stimulates the production of collagen, which is responsible for skin elasticity and firmness. This prevents the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. In addition, glycoin moisturizes the skin and supplies it with the necessary nutrients, thus promoting its regeneration. Thanks to its properties, this extract is also used in after-sun care products or products for dry and sensitive skin. Glycoin has thus gained a place in many cosmetic products, including creams, serums, face masks, tanning products and many others. Due to its useful properties, glycoin has become a very popular ingredient in the cosmetic industry.
