Ingredients:
- Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) contains 4-10% condensed tannins in the aerial plant, which can account for its astringent properties. It has been researched for its ability to support skin health. (Patrascu V, Chebac PI. “Favorable Therapeutic Results in Cutaneous Porphyria Obtained with Agrimonia eupatoria”. Revista De Medicina Interna Neurologie Psihiatrie Neurochirurgie Dermato Venerologie Serie Dermato Venerologia 1984; 29(2):153-157).
- Garlic (Allium sativum) is a member of the lily family, which also includes hyacinth, tulip, onion, leek, and chives. It has also been studied for its possible ability to discourage pests and promote healthy skin. (Ankri S, Mirelman D. "Antimicrobial Properties of Allicin from Garlic.

Southeast Asian J.Trop.Med.Public Health 1995;26(1):180-182.).
