Africa - Narrow-leaf plantain

Narrow-leaf plantain grows wild in the prairies and is adorned with slender leaves whose pronounced veins are so fine that legend says only fairies could create such delicate work. The plantain, while occasionally consumed as a food, has become indispensable in health care. A true natural remedy, the plantain leaf treats digestive disorders as well as skin conditions, producing a remarkable skin regeneration effect.

In cosmetics, narrow-leaf plantain extract limits the melting of adipose tissue due to ageing and helps bring features back to their harmonious appearance.
