Milk Thistle Seed

Milk thistle is a plant that is native to Europe and was brought to North America by early colonists. Milk thistle is now found throughout the eastern United States, California, South America, Africa, Australia, and Asia.

Anti-Aging

Milk thistle contains antioxidants that aids in slowing down aging.  This would not only apply to your skin but also to your organs as well.  Milk thistle’s protective qualities of the skin make it optimal for reducing visible signs of aging, so it could help with skin damage, such as acne, dark spots, wrinkles, lines and discoloration. Additionally, the silymarin found in milk thistle can also protect against depletion of glutathione, which is a proficient antioxidant.

Acne

One of the primary compounds found in Milk Thistle is Silymarin.  Silymarin is great because it has great antioxidant properties that may help get rid of acne by fighting the free radicals that contribute to acne formation. The oral antioxidant such as milk thistle extracts are also highly absorbable into the system and tackles acne effectively.  Additionally, milk thistle and its power to enhance glutathione production provides protection from heavy metals, lipid peroxides, and free radicals.  Glutathione will detoxify all skin contaminants thereby keeping the skin free from dirt that may lead to clogged follicles.
