Why

Burdock root is one of our favourite plants for supporting the organs of detoxification, particularly the liver and kidneys. In the root, the active ingredients have been found to "detoxify" blood and promote blood circulation to the skin surface, improving the quality and texture of the skin and soothing inflammatory skin issues. Which make burdock root a valuable addition to Radiant.
