Butcher’s Broom for Skin


What is Butcher's Broom?

Ruscus Aculeatus is an extract derived from a Mediterranean shrub more commonly known in the skincare world as Butcher’s Broom. Butcher’s Broom has great antioxidant properties and is proven as a venous vasoconstrictor i.e. it helps strengthen blood vessels to improve microcirculation. This makes Butcher’s Broom a great ingredient for treating swollen, red skin.
