Crataegus Monogyna Flower Extract

Crataegus monogyna flower extract is an astringent and antioxidant extract derived from the flowers of the common hawthorn. Common hawthorn is a bush or small thorny tree, bearing clusters of beautiful white flowers in late spring.

In skincare, this extract works as an astringent and antioxidant ingredient due to the high content of tannins and flavonoids in the flowers. It gives the skin a tightened feeling, reducing the appearance of large pores and protecting the skin from oxidative damage.

The famous use of hawthorn flowering twigs and fruits is to treat the signs of cardiac insufficiency, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular issues.
