HORSE CHESTNUT EXTRACT  

A botanical active that helps support firmer-looking skin, visible smoothing, and improved comfort through naturally occurring plant compounds.

Ingredient PROFILE

WHY YOUR SKIN LOVES IT

Horse chestnut extract is rich in naturally occurring plant compounds that help support firmer-looking, smoother skin. Known for its soothing benefits, it helps reduce the look of puffiness and promote a more lifted, refreshed appearance - especially in delicate areas of the face. By helping strengthen and comfort the skin, it’s well suited for formulas designed to address visible signs of fatigue, loss of firmness, and environmental stress.

WHERE IT COMES FROM

Horse chestnut extract is derived from Aesculus hippocastanum flowers grown and harvested in France using practices that support responsible land stewardship and long-term tree health. Each spring, blossoms are carefully hand-harvested to help protect trees, surrounding ecosystems, and natural regeneration.
 

We source through trusted, certified regional co-operatives in France made up of experienced local harvesters with deep knowledge of their native plants and ecosystems. This model supports full traceability, quality control, and supply continuity, while investing in regional communities.
 

After harvest, flowers are gently air-dried at moderate temperatures to help preserve their beneficial compounds while reducing energy use.

HOW IT’S THOUGHTFULLY MADE

To preserve the flower’s naturally occurring bioactives, the extract is produced using a plant-inspired green extraction process that uses naturally derived components instead of harsh traditional solvents.
 

This low-temperature, efficiency-focused method helps reduce environmental impact while maximizing performance and maintaining the integrity of key skin-supporting flavonoids.

The extract is standardized for escin content to ensure consistent quality and reliable results from batch to batch, with full traceability maintained from harvest through finished ingredient.
 

Our sourcing partners hold recognized organic and fair-trade certifications that support biodiversity, environmental protection, and fair working practices.

WHY IT MATTERS

Horse chestnut extract combines visible skin-firming and soothing benefits with a sourcing and production approach designed to minimize environmental impact.

Selective harvesting, controlled collection volumes, low-energy drying, and green extraction methods help protect biodiversity and reduce resource intensity - while maintaining high bioactive integrity.
 

By partnering with certified local co-operatives and prioritizing responsible chemistry, we aim to deliver high-performance skincare that reflects a thoughtful balance between efficacy, transparency, and environmental care.
