Chebula is a fruit that grows abundantly in the wild in India.
It has historically been used as a healing fruit in
Ayurvedic medicine and only recently has been incorporated into skin care.
The fruit contains a high amount of natural acids, making it a very potent active for skin care products.
The chebula fruit extract used by True Botanicals is one that has been researched and studied for years and has been clinically proven to have incredible anti-ageing benefits. The studies prove that this ingredient can help fight five signs of ageing and deliver on reduced fine lines and wrinkles, improved hydration, improved firmness and elasticity, evening skin tone and brightening the overall complexion.

CHEBULA: AN AYURVEDIC HISTORY
Terminalia chebula is a species of Terminalia that is native to south Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan and Thailand, as well as some provinces in China. The trees yield smallish, ribbed, nut-like fruits
that are used as a main ingredient in the Ayurvedic formulation triphala, used to treat kidney and liver dysfunctions. The dried fruit is also used in Ayurveda as a purported antitussive, cardiotonic, homeostatic, diuretic and laxative. It is further used as a soothing agent for dry cough.
And chebula has been proven to be an extremely potent antioxidant, delivering an ORAC score higher than açai.
This is because it is considered a cascading antioxidant. Most antioxidants lose effectiveness within an hour of application once they’ve absorbed all the free radicals they can hold. Chebula absorbs a free radical and then takes on a new form to be able to continue absorbing free radicals over a much longer period of time. This is why we chose to use this amazing ingredient in a few of our products to leverage this powerful ingredient in our Chebula Active Serum, our Chebula Extreme Cream and our Skin Barrier Sun Shield SPF 30
