Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is an ancient, fern-like plant that thrives in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Known for its naturally high silica content, Horsetail has been traditionally used to support hair, skin, and nail health, as well as connective tissue and urinary tract function.
Bio-Botanica incorporates Horsetail into wellness formulas and personal care applications that benefit from its mineral-rich profile. In hair care, it contributes to strengthening and shine; in skincare, it supports toning and firming effects. Horsetail offers a versatile ingredient option that connects traditional European herbalism with modern demands for clean, plant-based beauty and wellness solutions.
