Traditional Use:
Historically, Portulaca, also known as purslane, has been used in various cultures for its calming effects on the skin. It has been utilized in folk medicine to address issues such as skin irritation, burns, insect bites, and sores. Its reputation as a healing herb made it an essential ingredient in herbal remedies designed to alleviate inflammation and soothe irritated skin.

Modern Use:
In contemporary skincare, Portulaca Extract is recognized for its anti-inflammatory, anti-irritation, and anti-allergy properties. These qualities make it a highly effective ingredient in products designed to address a range of skin concerns, from minor burns and eczema to more persistent irritations like insect bites. It is particularly valued in acne treatments, where its anti-inflammatory action can help reduce redness, swelling, and irritation associated with breakouts.

Portulaca Extract is also rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for their moisturizing and nourishing benefits. This makes it an ideal ingredient in products formulated for dehydrated skin, helping to restore moisture and improve skin texture, leaving it feeling soft and hydrated.
