Hypericum Perforatum Flower Extract

Hypericum extract is obtained from the flowering tops of Hypericum perforatum, a herbaceous plant of the genus Hypericum. It contains hyperine, a flavonoid responsible for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, healing and re-epithelializing properties. It also shows excellent astringent properties, useful in the treatment of oily and impure skin thanks to the high concentration of tannins.

Ethical chain

We entrust the collection and processing of the hypericum extract present in our products to Herbartem, a small artisan laboratory in Macerata that deals with the production of plant extracts starting from spontaneous vegetable raw material or from organic farming. The collection environment is located in the neighboring areas of the Monti Sibillini National Park, where there are more than 1,800 species of flora. These places, between 800 and 1600 m, are far from large industrial complexes and therefore offer an uncontaminated environment rich in medicinal species. The collection of wild herbs requires good botanical knowledge and an ecological spirit, in order not to alter the habitat with a massive collection. The aim is to obtain high quality macerates free from contaminants. The herbal preparations are prepared with accuracy and scientific rigor by two young graduates in Herbal Techniques, to ensure the presence of the active ingredients inside the plants while preserving their therapeutic functionality in the best possible way.
