What it is & what it does

Rosemary extract is a bioactive botanical rich in antioxidant compounds such as carnosic acid, carnosol and rosmarinic acid.
Topical and preclinical literature supports antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, including protection of skin-surface lipids from oxidative damage. Human cosmetic evidence is less extensive than the mechanistic data, but it should not be reduced to a decorative extract.

Usage & cautions

Botanical or fragrance-related sensitivity is possible depending on the extract.
Information approach Consumer-friendly summaries are informed by established cosmetic ingredient references such as INCIDecoder and Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary, while avoiding turning ingredient-level evidence into medical claims about the finished product.
