It contains high concentration of polyphenols, flavonoids, caroten, coumarin, tannins and organic acids. Due to high content of these substances beggartick extract possesses powerful antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antihistaminic action, which is the reason why it is widely used in products for oily and blemish-prone skin care, to reduce oily shine and blackheads.
