What it does

Rosemary extract (from Rosmarinus officinalis) is rich in rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid, and ursolic acid — potent natural antioxidants. It is used both to protect formulations from oxidation (natural preservative synergist) and as a topical antioxidant that helps neutralise free radicals on skin. It is widely used in natural and organic skincare.
