Butcher’s broom, is not very new for the users of our capillary health cream, but we responded to the request by DIY clients who like to use this very valuable active in their own “potions”. This extract helps with venous insufficiency, and decreases capillary permeability. Our extract is standardized for ruscogenins.

Each tube (5 grams) is enough for 4 ounces or cream or serum. Use in your favorite cream, or use with our Canvas Base Cream, European Cream, or our Sea Kelp Ultramarine.
