Properties/Skin Care: Horse Chestnut extract has anti-inflammatory and astringent properties and can be found in salves for varicose veins, body wraps for cellulite but also in facial toners, cleansers and moisturizers for anti-blotchiness.
Hair Care:  Hair will benefit from the extract from its fatty acids, proteins and short-chain sugars. Hair is damaged by dyes, hair dryers and chemical treatments that make hair weak and brittle, hindering its ability to retain water. The extract is said to protect hair from this daily damage without causing buildup and is said to impart a glossy look to hair.
