Pancratium maritimum is commonly known as sea lily or sea pancratium. It is a bulbous plant that grows in coastal areas of the Mediterranean and other warm regions.
Its appearance is very distinctive: it has long, narrow, leathery leaves, and large, white, fragrant flowers that primarily bloom in the summer. This plant has attracted attention not only for its beauty but also for its properties in the field of aesthetic medicine.
Use in aesthetic medicine
In aesthetic medicine, Pancratium maritimum is primarily used for its ability to revitalize and regenerate the skin. One of the main active compounds found in this plant is a type of glycoprotein that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds are beneficial in combating the effects of aging, such as the loss of elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles, and lack of radiance.
One of the most common uses of Pancratium maritimum in aesthetic treatments is its inclusion in anti-aging creams and serums. It is believed that this plant helps stimulate collagen production, an essential protein that keeps the skin firm and elastic. Additionally, its antioxidant properties protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which are responsible for premature aging.
The sea lily is also known for its ability to improve skin hydration. Due to its high water content and nutrients, it helps keep the skin soft, smooth, and well-nourished. Additionally, its soothing and anti-inflammatory action makes it an ideal ingredient for individuals with sensitive or irritation-prone skin.
