Buddleja Officinalis Flower Extract Description

flower extract is the extract of the flower of a shrub native to the Hubei, Sichuan, and Yunnan provinces of China. The plant is also known as butterfly bush and mi meng hua. It has long been used in traditional Chinese and Korean medicine, mostly internally, but research is unveiling the impact it can have when applied to skin as well.

flower extract is also rich in a type of antioxidant known as polyphenols, specifically verbascoside and echinacoside. These polyphenols have been shown to inhibit factors within skin that lead to visible signs of sun damage. This includes damage caused by UV rays as well as exposure to blue light. Some studies even point to this extract’s ability to counter redness and improve the look of discolorations.

flower extract range from 0.5-2% when blended in a water base with a glycol ingredient such as propanediol.
