Lawat Bark - The Saponin Rich Anti-aging Cure
By www.Perfume-mall.net

Casually glance at the ingredient list on the back of your favorite shampoo or moisturizer and I'm sure you'll find a wide range of plant extracts and natural derivatives that seem commonplace, even though only a decade ago they were largely regarded as rare and exotic: ginko biloba, guarana, hoodia, even pomegranate extract seems to be popping up in everything, as if the ancient fruit were some newfangled scientific compound only recently stumbled upon.

One lesser known plant extract that is slowly gaining popularity in the natural cosmetics industry is Lawat (also known as Indian Laurel or more technically, Litsea glutinosa). Lawat is a large, twisting tree that has been a cure-all panacea in Eastern medical traditions since time immemorial, having been used to treat as varying conditions as hair loss, weight gain, cancer, bruises, skin disorders, and infections of all kinds. Recent clinical studies have shown why the bark of this ancient tree is so effective in treating a wide gamut of disorders, the secret being its extremely high saponin content.

Why, you ask, are saponins dermatologically significant? Saponins are curative powerhouses, containing anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and water-binding properties. Because of this combination of properties, skincare products rich in saponins are an excellent treatment for wrinkles, fine lines, and age related pigmentation problems.

Wrinkles are primarily caused by free-radical damage. Free-radicals, which exist at all times in the surrounding natural environment, assault the skin by impairing the ability of skin cells to function properly. When skin cells are damaged by free-radicals, the skin begins to wrinkle, sag,

and thicken. Sounds like a pretty dreadful scenario, doesn't it?

Thankfully, your skin isn't completely doomed; research has shown that there are treatments available to mitigate the effects of free-radical damage. When antioxidant rich saponins are applied to the skin, they stop this aging process by neutralizing free radicals. Saponins also insulate the skin from further damage by stopping skin inflammation (e.g., redness, irritation, or puffiness) and water loss (which causes skin to sag)!

Lawat bark is not only high in saponin content, but the methanol extract from its bark has been clinically proven to have potent antibacterial and antifungal properties, making Lawat an efficacious treatment for acne and other bacteria related skin eruptions.
