EUPHRASIA EYE DROP

Boric acid is a mild antiseptic and acidifying agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms by disrupting their cellular membranes and interfering with their metabolism. Euphrasia, derived from the Eyebright plant, contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and iridoid glycosides, which possess anti-inflammatory and astringent properties, helping to reduce eye irritation and inflammation. Ruta, obtained from the herb Rue, contains furanocoumarins and flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, promoting healing and reducing discomfort. Calendula, extracted from the Marigold flower, is rich in triterpenoids and carotenoids, offering anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and vulnerary actions, which help soothe the eye, prevent infection, and support the healing process.
