Rubus Idaeus Leaf Extract
What Rubus Idaeus Leaf Extract is & what it does
Rubus Idaeus Leaf Extract is derived from the leaves of the red raspberry plant. In skincare and sunscreen formulas it is used as a plant-based skin-conditioning and astringent agent, valued for the tannins and polyphenols naturally present in the leaves. These plant compounds also give it antioxidant-type properties that can help protect a formula and the skin surface from free-radical stress.
