Hops Extract
Extract of hops are derived from the carefully dried pinecone-like fruit of the hop plant and are known for their antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Hops contain a phytohormone (oestrogenic substance), which is believed to help in cases of premature ageing of the skin and it is therefore used in skin care products for its skin firming and emollient effect. Hops can also aid restful sleep.
