Active ingredients:
Corn is rich in important nutrients and contains a lot of vitamin E , which nourishes the skin and protects against free radicals.
Vegetable vitamin E has a much higher bioavailability and can be absorbed and utilized by the skin much better than synthetically produced vitamin E.
In addition, corn has an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin and can therefore help in the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases such as pimples as well as inflammatory processes that accelerate skin aging.
