Brassica Oleracea Capitata Leaf Extract

Explained

This ingredient is also known as cabbage leaf extract (the same cabbage you eat). It has skin conditioning properties and is packed with flavonoids, phenolic compounds, Vitamin C, and glucosinolates.

A study from 2018 found that topically applied cabbage extract reduced swelling and redness in a mouse model of contact dermatitis. Animal studies have also shown it can support wound healing by boosting collagen production and encouraging new cell growth in damaged skin.

Another study from 2025 found that cabbage leaf extract strong tyrosinase inhibition comparable to vitamin C.

Overall, this is a great supportive ingredient. Be sure to patch test if you have a known allergy to plants in the Brassicaceae family (broccoli, kale, cauliflower).
