Nettle Leaf

Nettle leaf is a flowering perennial plant with stinging hairs on the leaves and stems that act like needles that inject histamine and other chemicals, creating a stinging sensation when touched. Nettle is commonly used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiallergenic, antirheumatic, and antibacterial properties, as well as for its benefits for the skin and hair. As a natural astringent, nettle leaf extract tightens and firms the skin, while regulating sebum production, for smooth and flawless skin. The silicium and magnesium content also have their own anti-aging properties. It also accelerates the healing of minor wounds and helps erase blemishes and hyperpigmentation. When massaged into sore or aching muscles, nettle leaf relieves joint pain and fatigue. Nettle leaf is also a common ingredient in hair products, since it strengthens and fortifies hair follicles, boosting hair growth and strengthening locks.
