Potato

Potatoes are rich in starch, polysaccharides, proteins, amino acids, polyphenols, minerals, vitamins C, B1, B6, B9 (folic acid), alkaloids, lipids, sugars, potassium and fiber. Thanks to their antibacterial and soothing effects, potatoes and their starch are used by herbalists for various medicinal and cosmetic purposes.

Potato tuber extract has a moisturizing, cooling and soothing effect on the skin, and at the same time, all the ingredients together help in the fight against natural aging of the skin. Potato juice reduces inflammation of the skin, which helps in the fight against, for instance, acne and plays an important role in cell renewal. In addition, vitamin B6 helps to produce amino acids, which are the building material of the skin.
