Mastyx

The ancient belief that mastic oil (Mastiha) is distinguished by its positive medicinal properties and has effective cosmetic effects has now been confirmed by modern scientific research.

Modern cosmetology, after clinical studies and scientific evidence, began to use the antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties of mastic oil. Cosmetics enriched with mastic oil guarantee deep cleansing of the skin and effective protection against skin aging. At the same time, mastic oil normalizes sebum secretion and alleviates the problems of oily and problematic skin.

Mastic oil also stimulates the formation of collagen, and its systematic use smooths wrinkles and guarantees greater skin elasticity. Mastiha improves the overall appearance of the skin and deeply moisturizes, has a particularly positive effect on acne-prone skin (it has antiseptic properties) and skin with blemishes.

Mastic oil is also widely used in dentistry and orthodontics. In dentistry it is used as an ingredient in dental fillings and and ingredient in preparations to prevent tooth decay. As an ingredient in chewing gums, mastic resin helps disinfect the mouth, reduces the frequency of dental problems and strengthens the gums. In addition, it increases oral hydration, provides fresh breath and cleanses the mouth, eliminating unwanted bacteria.

Systematically applied mastic gum eliminates or significantly inhibits the formation of bacterial plaque. Therefore, it helps prevent tooth decay and periodontal problems. Eugenol contained in Mastiha oil is used today in dentistry as an antiseptic and soothing substance. Mastic oil is used as an effective ingredient in toothpastes and rinses ensuring proper cleaning and sanitizing of the mouth.
