Extracted from the bark of the French maritime pine, this natural compound has undergone extensive research—over 10,000 subjects, 160 clinical trials, and 450 scientific publications spanning four decades—solidifying its reputation for safety and efficacy. Pycnogenol® has become a sought-after ingredient in skincare, cosmeceuticals, and nutraceuticals, promising transformative results.

Pycnogenol® Unveiled: Nature’s Gift to Aging Gracefully

Pycnogenol® originates from the French maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) along the southwest coast of France. Rich in proanthocyanidin (PCOs) and bioflavonoid antioxidants, Pycnogenol®  finds applications in various health sectors, from skincare to heart health.

Pycnogenol® vs. Pine Bark Extract: Decoding the Difference

While pine bark extract and Pycnogenol®  are often used interchangeably, the crucial distinction lies in standardisation. Pycnogenol® is a research-grade, sustainably derived pine bark extract. Its standardised quality, particularly in procyanidin content, differentiates it from generic pine bark extracts. Genuine Pycnogenol® is essential for consistent, research-backed results.

Known as French Maritime Pine Bark Extract, Pycnogenol® offers diverse benefits for the skin, both orally and topically. Pycnogenol® products globally are recognised for their potency—20 times more powerful than Vitamin C and 50 times more potent than Vitamin E. This has prompted skincare enthusiasts to transition from traditional vitamins to Pycnogenol.
