Aesculus hippocastanum - Ηorse chestnut - is a large deciduous tree, commonly known as horse-chestnut or conker tree.
Most commonly known as a conker tree, the horse chestnut was traditionally planted for its ornamental value.
With its spectacular spring and early summer blossom and autumn conker crop, it is a tree for all seasons.
Ηorse chestnuts are rich in compounds containing nitrogen (7%) and starch (86%) as well as fat (6,5%).
Horse chestnut contains bio-active compounds of escin and flavonoids that are known to have circulation-boosting properties.
High in antioxidants, horse chestnut has anti-inflammatory properties so helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.
In cosmetology, horse chestnut is used for its cleansing and moisturizing action, as well as for its activity against localized collections of fat.
