Berkemyol® maritime pine
Fights against premature aging

Skin aging is a complex biological process, in particular due to external aggressions as UV radiations, pollution, tobacco, stress, dietary imbalance... Those factors are causing an important synthesis of free radicals, leading to the formation of signs of aging on the skin surface, overtime. Aging also causes a diminution of the cutaneous microcirculation, leading to a more fragile, thinner and lighter skin.
Berkemyol® maritime pine is an active ingredient, derived from maritime pine bark extract, rich in stabilized polyphenols. Due to its composition, it protects from oxidative damage and procures a global action against effects of aging.
