RED CLOVER

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) is a leguminous plant that has gained popularity in both cosmetics and phytotherapy, particularly for its application in hormonal balance and scalp health.
Rich in phytoestrogens, minerals, and antioxidants, this active ingredient is especially suited to female haircare helping to reduce hormonally-induced hair loss. It is easy to formulate and ideal for treatments aimed at enhancing hair density and vitality. A natural ally that soothes, regenerates, and protects the scalp ecosystem.

TRADITIONAL USES

Red Clover has been used for centuries in traditional European and Asian medicine, both for its medicinal and purifying properties. In various cultures, it was employed as a natural remedy to balance female hormones, alleviate menopausal hot flushes, and regulate the menstrual cycle. It was regarded as a key herb in traditional herbal formulations, valued for its ability to purify the blood and promote healthy skin. In addition, it was traditionally appreciated for its soothing action on respiratory tract and as a support for the lymphatic system. Rich in isoflavones – compounds with natural oestrogenic activity – Red Clover was commonly used to support overall well-being, particularly in women.
