So How Does Cork Benefit Your Skin?

A natural extract called suberin is taken from the cell walls (outer layers) of cork oak. Suberin gives cork its elasticity, so on your skin, it will help promote suppleness. The multi-active oak complex will reduce skin redness, stimulate collagen formation, and fight pesky free radicals in the air. Cork oak has existed for over 60 million years, and the evergreen broad-leaved trees grow in the western Mediterranean (primarily Portugal).
