Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessCARE Aqua GBE

How Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract Works

AccessCARE Aqua GBE harnesses bioactive compounds found in Ginkgo Biloba leaves—primarily flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol) and terpenoids (ginkgolides, bilobalide). Its primary mechanism is potent antioxidant action, neutralizing free radicals generated by UV exposure, pollution, and other environmental stressors. By scavenging these reactive species, it helps protect cellular components, preserve collagen and elastin, and slow visible signs of aging. The extract also exhibits notable anti-inflammatory activity to calm redness and irritation. Additionally, it supports cutaneous microcirculation, aiding nutrient and oxygen delivery for a brighter, revitalized complexion.

Formulation Guidelines

AccessCARE Aqua GBE is a water-soluble liquid extract designed for easy use across serums, emulsions, gels, and toners. For optimal integrity of its actives, add to the water phase during cool-down at temperatures below 40°C (104°F). It performs well in a final pH range of 4.5–7.0 and is compatible with common cosmetic actives including hyaluronic acid, vitamin C derivatives, peptides, and niacinamide—often working synergistically to enhance antioxidant and anti-aging benefits.
