Planetary Herbals Horse Chestnut Cream 113.4g | 5-Herb Vein Tonifier | Liposomal

Planetary Herbals Horse Chestnut Cream — a five-herb vascular toning cream combining horse chestnut seed extract (standardised to 20% aescin), butcher’s broom, witch hazel, white oak bark, and myrrh gum in an advanced liposomal delivery system, designed to support the appearance of varicose veins and healthy vein and tissue tone. 113.4g.

Why

While oral horse chestnut supplements work systemically via the bloodstream, topical application allows the active compounds to be delivered directly to the affected area — the skin and superficial veins of the legs. Planetary Herbals Horse Chestnut Cream uses an advanced liposomal delivery system — phospholipid vesicles (from lecithin) that encapsulate the active herbal extracts and facilitate their penetration through the skin barrier into the deeper layers of tissue where the veins and capillaries are located. The formula combines five time-honoured vascular and tissue tonifying herbs, each contributing distinct properties: horse chestnut for venotonic and anti-oedematous activity via aescin, butcher’s broom for ruscogenin-based vein toning, witch hazel for astringent and anti-inflammatory vascular support, white oak bark for tissue tightening, and myrrh gum for anti-inflammatory and circulatory support. The cream base includes aloe vera, jojoba oil, and vitamin E for soothing, conditioning, and antioxidant protection. Formulated by Michael Tierra L.Ac, O.M.D. For best results, use consistently for at least 6 weeks.

• Witch Hazel Bark Extract (Hamamelis virginiana) — rich in tannins and hamamelitannin; astringent, anti-inflammatory, and vascular toning properties
• White Oak Bark Extract (Quercus alba) — a traditional astringent herb rich in tannins; tones and tightens tissue and supports vascular integrity
