The therapeutic properties of this herb in skin care is that of being a vasodilator, increasing circulation, improving sebaceous secretions, decreasing capillary hyper-permeability, improving tissue irrigation and activating cell metabolism (especially in the cortex, by increasing glucose and oxygen uptake). It also has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic properties.
It furthermore increases the creation of fibroblast, collagen and extracellular fibronectin, REF 331 while also exhibiting good anti-oxidant qualities. REF 332, 333 & 334
It contains diterpenes, including ginkgolide A, ginkgolide B, ginkgolide C, plus ginkgolide J, the sesquiterpene bilobalide; Flavonols, including kaempferol, quercetin, and isorhamnetin; Flavones, including luteolin and tricetin; Biflavones, mainly bilobetin, ginkgetin, isoginkgetin and sciadopitysin, catechins, proanthocyanidins; Sterols and 6-hydroxykynurenic acid. REF 36 - 38
The constituents can be divided into two main groups - that of flavonoids and diterpenes. The flavonoids are about 20 flavonol glycosides of kaempferol and quercitin and biflavones: Amentoflavone, bilobetol 15-methoxybilobetol, ginkgetin, isoginkgetin and sciadopitysin. Flavanols and proanthocyanidins are also present and the diterpenes, which are ginkgosides A, B, C, J and M, have a specific hexacyclic structure. REF 41
From the above, it becomes apparently clear why it is an excellent ingredient to include in anti-aging and rejuvenating skin care, especially because it stimulates the formation of fibroblast and collagen - both required if you are looking to achieve a smooth and healthy young-looking complexion.
