Sage Extract

Why we use it

Rich in antioxidants such as rosmarinic acid and flavonoids, this extract helps neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and protecting the skin from premature aging. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritation and redness, making it particularly beneficial for sensitive or inflamed skin conditions like acne or eczema. Sage extract also exhibits antimicrobial properties, helping to cleanse the skin and prevent bacterial growth that can lead to breakouts. Furthermore, sage extract is known for its astringent properties, which can help tighten pores and control excess oil production, promoting a clearer and more balanced complexion.
