What Is Sage Extract?
Sage extract is a plant-derived ingredient most commonly known for its use in enhancing the flavor of foods. In the context of skincare, like all plant extracts, sage contains components that function as **antioxidants**. These antioxidants help to protect the skin from environmental damage.
While there is some potential for sensitivity with sage extracts, the risk is considered relatively low at the amounts typically used in topical skin care products. The ingredient is also noted for its potential anti-inflammatory activity.
