The geto in the skin!

Le géto dans la peau !

Cultivated on the Okinawa archipelago in Japan (known for its population of centenarians), geto extract (also called “paradise flower” or “ginger shell”) is the anti-aging active ingredient that is currently buzzing. Rich in multiple polyphenols (therefore powerfully antioxidant), it preserves the skin’s youthfulness and promotes cell regeneration. It can be found in effective anti-aging skin care products.

The inhabitants consume it in infusions or in their traditional recipes (such as muchi, eaten in winter, which brings strength, vigor and health) and women have used it as an elixir of youth for centuries.
