What is Dolcévia®?

The vegan ingredient Dolcévia® is a natural extract obtained from the dried leaves of Stevia rebaudiana (also known as sweet herb, honey leaf, or stevia). The stevia plant belongs to the Asteraceae family. Maybe you have even tried parts of this plant before? Because the so-called steviol glycosides – the sweeteners found in the leaves of stevia – are sometimes used in food products. Steviol glycosides are as much as 400 times sweeter than regular table sugar and are calorie-free.

The functions of Dolcévia®

Dolcévia® is a natural and powerful ingredient with a skin-relaxing effect, as it can reduce stress-related involuntary facial muscle contractions. Due to its potential to minimize the tension of smooth muscles, furrows, wrinkles, or lines on the face can be reduced.

In addition, Dolcévia® has moisture-binding properties. This means that dryness and fine lines around the eye area are not further intensified. This allows Dolcévia® to promote a soft, relaxed, and rejuvenated appearance.
