Ginkgo Biloba, also known as the maidenhair tree, is the scientific name of an ancient tree species that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. The name "Ginkgo" comes from the Chinese words "yin" and "kuo," which mean "silver" and "apricot" respectively, referring to the colour of the fruit and the shape of the seed. "Biloba" is derived from the Latin words "bi" (two) and "loba" (lobe), reflecting the distinct shape of the tree's leaves.
Ginkgo Biloba is a unique tree species that is known for its fan-shaped leaves and distinctive nuts. It is one of the oldest living tree species on Earth, dating back over 200 million years. The extract from the leaves of the Ginkgo Biloba tree is commonly used in skincare products for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
