Ginkgo – Timeless Beauty

INCI designation: Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract

Typical cultivation areas: China, Japan

Talent: Helps your skin stay balanced

If this tree could speak, it would be able to tell a piece of history: The ginkgo tree is considered one of the oldest trees on our planet and is one of the most important plants in Far Eastern natural medicine. In skincare, ginkgo stands for a balancing care. In some lavera facial cleansing products for normal and combination skin, this plant ingredient, in a finely tuned active ingredient composition, ensures strengthened, even, and refined skin appearance.

Living fossil

The ginkgo tree is a living fossil: it is believed to have adorned prehistoric landscapes around 190 million years ago and served as a valuable fodder plant on all continents.

Ginkgo: The Ancient Rock Among Trees

The Ginkgo biloba belongs to the family of Ginkgo plants. It is a particularly tough and robust tree – a possible reason for its exceptionally long lifespan. The Ginkgo tree was able to survive through changing climates and despite unfavorable external conditions. It is a tree related to conifers, although it has leaves instead of needles. Thanks to the easily recognizable, fan-shaped form of its leaves, it is also called the "fan leaf tree." The special leaf shape symbolizes the balancing power of Yin and Yang. The deciduous tree can reach a height of up to 40 meters and live up to 3000 years.
