Milk thistle is the only known source of a substance called Silymarin. It maintains the healthy structure of skin cells and protects them from destruction while helping block harmful UV rays. In fact, Bulgaria is one of the very few countries in the world where significant quantities of milk thistle are grown, mainly for medicinal use.

Milk thistle oil has extremely strong anti-aging effects – it makes the skin supple and firm and smoothes small wrinkles. In addition, the oil protects the skin from photoaging and harmful free radicals. The plant also successfully fights acne and hyperpigmentation.
