Ginkgo biloba: gels and creams with antioxidant extract
In short: ginkgo biloba leaf extract is rich in flavonoids and is used for its antioxidant properties. You'll find it in 5 Epic Beauty products: the antioxidant booster gel, two eye creams, the niacinamide gel and the anti-age peptide serum. All of them are vegan, and 3 are made from COSMOS-certified formulas.
Ginkgo is a “living fossil”: its lineage has stayed almost unchanged for about 200 million years, and several trees survived the Hiroshima bomb. The story and the sources are in our ingredients guide.
Frequently asked questions
What does an antioxidant do in a cosmetic?
It helps protect the skin and the formula from oxidation. In the antioxidant booster gel, ginkgo extract is the main active; in the other products it works alongside other ingredients.
Is it suitable for the eye area?
Yes, which is why it appears in the brightening eye cream and the 3-in-1 eye cream for men. Apply a small amount by patting, without getting it in your eyes.
Can it cause reactions?
As with any plant extract, an individual reaction can't be ruled out. Introduce one new product at a time, so you know what your skin is reacting to.
