Derived from one of the oldest living trees, it is commonly found in anti-ageing creams, serums and eye treatments. Shoppers like it for its gentle, natural approach to protecting and revitalising skin.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics ginkgo biloba leaf extract functions as a potent antioxidant that helps neutralise free radicals generated by environmental stressors.
