Ginkgo Biloba for DIY skin care and cosmetics

About Gingko Biloba

 

"In China and Japan, the leaves and nuts of the Ginkgo biloba (G. biloba) tree have been used for thousands of years to treat various medical conditions, including poor circulation; hypertension; poor memory, dementia, and depression, particularly among the aged; male impotence; and disorders related to an inner ear imbalance, such as deafness, tinnitus, and vertigo. In addition, G. biloba is gaining a similar reputation as a significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.

 

The G. biloba extract EGb 761, prepared from the tree's leaves, is a natural mixture containing flavone glycosides (33%), mostly quercetin and kaempferol derivatives, and terpenes (6%), which has exhibited the capacity to reduce the number of ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced sunburn cells in mice.

 

In addition, a decade ago Ginkgo extracts, including the flavonoid components quercetin, kaempferol, sciadopitysin, ginkgetin, and isoginkgetin, were shown to enhance the proliferation of normal human skin fibroblasts in vitro; additional assays of fibroblasts incubated with G. biloba extracts and ascorbic acid and controls incubated only with ascorbic acid showed increased collagen and extracellular fibronectin synthesis in the treatment group. " Leslie Baumann. Botanical ingredients in cosmeceuticals. Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, Nov, 2007.

Ginkgo Biloba has been used in China and Japan for centuries for its healing properties. In DIY skin care the extract is often used in: anti-inflammatory recipes, as an anti-allergenic, to promote collagen production, and for sun damage protection and repair.
