FSS Ginkgo Biloba Extract G
Contains Glycerin

Ginkgo biloba also known as Maidenhair Tree is one of the oldest trees in existence dating back as far as 150 million years ago. The word Ginkgo is a derivation of the Japanese word ginkyo, which means silver apricot and is a reference to the fruit of the Ginkgo tree that is eaten in Japan. The word Biloba translates into two-lobed and is a reference to the leaf’s characteristic fan shape with a space in the middle.
Originally from China, the Ginkgo Biloba tree is an adaptive plant and although it thrives in moist deep sandy soil in direct sunlight it can grow in areas where soil consistency, pH and temperature vary; the plant can also survive draughts. The tree usually grows to approximately 80 feet tall, and the green leaves grow to 3 inches long. It can take as many as 20 years for female Ginkgo trees to mature and bear fruit.
Ginkgo biloba is also a common additive in cosmetic formulations. The plant contains 49 different antioxidants and is often used in age defying and anti-wrinkle creams. Ginkgo biloba has been observed to stimulate peripheral blood flow to the skin and the antioxidants inhibit free radicals thus improving the condition of skin. As an additive in facial treatments the extract is attributed with providing firming qualities while revitalizing and stimulating the skin. Shampoos and conditioners containing Ginkgo biloba are frequently recommended for consumers with damaged permed or dyed hair. Ginkgo biloba extract will smooth hair and imparts a natural healthy looking shine to damaged hair.
