Description

FSS Horse Chestnut Extract OS is derived from the seeds of Aesculus hippocastanum, commonly known as horse chestnut. This botanical extract is widely used in astringents, creams, lotions, massage oils, and other skincare applications for its skin-conditioning and toning properties.

Horse chestnut seeds are rich in saponins collectively referred to as escin (aescin). These compounds provide a gentle soapy sensory profile while delivering strong anti-inflammatory activity. Escin is also known to reduce capillary fragility, helping minimize fluid leakage into surrounding tissues that can contribute to visible puffiness and swelling.

In addition to its vascular-supportive properties, horse chestnut extract demonstrates exceptional antioxidant activity. Comparative evaluations have shown it to possess one of the highest active-oxygen scavenging capacities among numerous plant extracts tested. Its antioxidant strength has been reported to exceed that of vitamin E, contributing to powerful cell-protective effects. These properties support its well-recognized role in anti-aging and skin-protective formulations.

The oil-soluble format makes FSS Horse Chestnut Extract OS ideal for anhydrous systems and oil-based products where antioxidant defense, soothing performance, and firming benefits are desired.
