Holly Leaf is the plant of Ilex chinensis Sims. The root bark, leaves and seeds are used as medicine. Root bark and leaves can be harvested throughout the year. Seeds are harvested in autumn and winter and sun-dried respectively.
Our Holly Leaf Extract Powder is a fine brown powder with a characteristic mild herbal odor. It is water- and ethanol-soluble, making it ideal for a wide range of product matrices.
Unlike ornamental hollies that contain high levels of ilicin and cause gastrointestinal distress, Ilex chinensis has been safely used in traditional medicine for clearing heat, reducing inflammation, and supporting metabolic health.

The main functions in cosmetics and skin care products are antioxidants, bodybuilding efficacy ingredients, and anti-inflammatory agents.
In addition, it has a strong promoting effect on the decomposition of the fat and can be used as a weight loss product in cosmetics.
It has a eliminating effect on free radicals, and can be used as an antioxidant to slow down aging.
It has inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus A, Bacillus subtilis, etc., so that can be used as an antibacterial agent and an anti-inflammatory agent.
