What is Mistletoe? The surprising benefits of Mistletoe

Argital is an organic skincare manufacturer that uses green clay from Sicily, Italy.

We take a deeper look at this fascinating Mistelle (mistletoe) cream, which has not yet been released in Japan.

What is mistletoe?

It is an evergreen tree that means "dwelling tree" because it is semi-parasitic on other trees.

It has been traditionally used in Europe to treat epilepsy, asthma, high blood pressure, headaches, menopause, infertility, dermatitis, arthritis, and rheumatism. Mistletoe extracts have been most widely studied as a complementary and alternative medicine for cancer.

Reasons why it’s popular in Europe

In Europe, it is customary to decorate branches with mistletoe berries at Christmas, and it is a popular plant. Mistletoe reproduces as a tree without roots in the ground, does not die even in winter, and shines green among dead branches. In Europe and the United States, mistletoe is revered as a sacred and mysterious power as a "symbol of rebirth" and "symbol of eternal life."

What are the beauty benefits of mistletoe?

Its ingredients include triterpenoids such as oleanolic acid (which suppress inflammation and prevent the growth of cancer cells), and flavonoids such as quercetin and avicularin (which have antioxidant, detoxifying, anti-aging, stress relief, cancer suppression, immune regulation, and blood thinning effects).

Oleanolic Acid

Oleanolic Acid is an anti-inflammatory that helps reduce redness and inflammation, acts as an antioxidant to protect the skin and prevent premature aging, and is a versatile skin care ingredient that helps regulate sebum, prevent acne, and help repair skin.

As a powerful antioxidant, it also protects against free radicals, preventing premature aging and maintaining skin health, while its wound-healing abilities support skin repair and regeneration.
