Sometimes, the answer to a more youthful-looking skin lies within a tree bark.

THE Greek physician Hippocrates once said: Let plants be your medicine. American skincare brand Origins has taken his advice to heart and bases much of its products around the healing powers of nature.

Its award-winning Plantscription Anti-Aging collection offers formulations fortified with Annogeissus tree bark extract, touted to be natures wrinkle reducer.

Native to the Republic of Ghana in West Africa, Anogeissus is commonly known as Siiga, meaning the soul. Local tribes revere the Anogeissus extract as it is regarded a potent natural wound healer and antimicrobial.

After five years of intensive research in partnership with plant scientists at the University of Strasbourg, Origins discovered that the extract of the bark demonstrated an excellent ability to protect collagen and help boost skins natural production levels of a glycoprotein called fibrillin. This resulted in a firmer and more resilient, youthful-looking complexion.

Now, there are new additions to the collection: a cleanser, treatment lotion, serum and two eye products.

The perfect starting point is the Plantscription Anti-Aging foaming cleanser which utilises potent plants to thoroughly wash away dirt, make-up and impurities in one simple step.

The gentle cleansing system contains Anogeissus, along with oat protein and jasmine flowers to condition skin and preserve the vital moisture balance.

The lightweight moisture-rich treatment lotion contains Anogeissus and is fortified with jasmine flowers, caffeine and aloe leaf. It is claimed to deliver softening and conditioning benefits, much like a skin cream.

Skin texture is smoothened and a youthful radiance is restored, as the skin is prepped to receive the optimum benefits from the other Plantscription treatments.
