Benostan philosophy

'harnessing nature's science'

Philosophy

Benostan guarantees the quality and purity of its products as it imposes strict controls over the whole of the production process.

The quality and effectiveness of a herbal, therapeutic or cosmetic product is due to the careful selection of the raw materials, as well as on extraction the and production process.

The Natural Extraction Method

Benostan products are made with ingredients from specific geographic areas in Greece, selected for their ability to produce organically-grown herbs of high quality and effectiveness, such as the fruit, the leaves and the oil of the olive, thyme, hypericum, rosemary, sage and calendula among others.

Moreover, Benostan has developed and perfected in its laboratories an exclusive method of handling raw materials, avoiding the use of ready-made, packaged extracts sold in the market. The method of slow, natural extraction creates a most pure and effective concentrate, since it protects and utilizes the active ingredients (anti-oxidants, vitamins etc.), of every plant.

Scientific research proving the effectiveness of Benostan products has been published and presented internationally (Greece, Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, Holland, USA) in highly acclaimed medical journals and dermatological conferences.

The main active ingredients extracted from herbs are:

  • Catechines (catechine - epicatechine): anti - swelling action.
  • Flavonoidic glucosides (routoside, hiperoside, quersetin): strengthens the inner walls of the capillaries, present anti - swelling action and a vitamin P action. 
  • Tannines: astringent, anti - inflammatory, flebocontractive, haemostatic action. Vitamins C & P: protective effect on the capillary inner walls, reduces of the capillary diameter. 
  • Vitamin E (tocopherol): protects the epidermis due to its anti - oxidative, anti free - radicals properties.
  • Linoleic acid: regenerates the skin tissue.
  • Carotenoids: heal the skin tissue.
  • Alcohols and Phenoles (Vorneol, Cineole): Analgesic, Anti - neuralgic, styptic, skin healing.
