Proper leg care begins with the right ingredients. At The House of Legs, we rely on carefully selected active ingredients that specifically target the feeling of heaviness in the legs, water retention, and tension. Our formulations combine scientifically recognized plant extracts with modern active ingredients to promote microcirculation, nourish the skin, and create a noticeably lighter feeling.
These active ingredients are combined in our Lymphglow Leg Serum and The Ultimate Leg Cream , two highly effective skincare products specially developed for tired, swollen legs. Menthol, horse chestnut, caffeine, red algae, birch, and horsetail are just some of the proven ingredients that, together with hyaluronic acid and panthenol, provide holistic leg care – noticeably, visibly, and precisely effective.
Active ingredient highlight
Pure escin instead of extract:
Unlike conventional products, we don't use simple horse chestnut extract, but rather the highly effective plant compound escin in its pure form . This is scientifically known for its decongestant , vascular-strengthening , and anti-inflammatory properties – ideal for tired, heavy legs with a feeling of tension.
The horse chestnut: Tradition meets modern active ingredient skincare
Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) is one of the best-known medicinal plants for treating heavy, swollen legs. Its effectiveness has been known for centuries and is now scientifically proven. The main active ingredient , escin , is particularly effective, as it is attributed with decongestant, anti-inflammatory, and vascular-strengthening properties.
Unlike many conventional skincare products that contain only horse chestnut extract, at The House of Legs we use pure escin in combination with other bioactive plant extracts. This allows us to specifically harness the benefits of horse chestnut: promoting microcirculation, reducing feelings of tension, and supporting natural lymphatic function. Ideal for anyone who wants to experience noticeably lighter, more relaxed legs.
