[What is Pine bark?]

Pine bark, botanical name Pinus pinaster, is a maritime pine native to southwest France that also grows in countries along the western Mediterranean.  Pine bark contains a number of beneficial compounds that are extracted from the bark in a way that doesn’t destroy or damage the tree.

[How does it work?]

What gives pine bark extract its notoriety as a powerful ingredient and super antioxidant is that it’s loaded with oligomeric proanthocyanidin compounds, OPCs for short. The same ingredient can be found in grape seeds, the skin of peanuts and witch hazel bark. But what makes this miracle ingredient so amazing?

While OPCs found in this extract are mostly known for their antioxidant-producing benefits, these amazing compounds exude antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Pine bark extract can help reduce muscle soreness and may help improve conditions relating to poor circulation, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes, ADHD, female reproductive issues, skin, erectile dysfunction, eye disease and sports stamina.

Seems like it must be pretty amazing, but let’s look closer. The list goes on a bit further, as the OPCs in this extract may “inhibit lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, capillary permeability and fragility, and to affect enzyme systems,” which basically means it may be a natural treatment for many serious health conditions, such as stroke and heart disease.

In this video you’ll see me unboxing Younique Pigment Samples. I’ve not done an unboxing video before. This is my first! It may not be as exciting as a new product or a product order but it is exciting because these are samples I can send to you to try before you buy.

There are 15 Matte Moodstruck Mineral Pigments and 15 Shimmer Moodstruck Mineral Pigments from Younique to choose from. They’re all vibrant in color as they’re all natural mineral pigments. They don’t contain any fillers.

I love how Younique Corporate always takes such care with the packages that they send out and each one includes Younique’s personalized tissue paper. It doesn’t matter if it is an order for business supplies from a Presenter such as the Pigment Samples I received and show in this video or an order from a customer.

Be sure to send me a message with the samples you’d like to try and comment below! Don’t forget to find me on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest etc. I do contests and giveaways!
