Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract
Helps with Dark Spots
These ingredients are known for their brightening properties, helping to even out skin tone and reduce the look of dark spots or dullness.
Explained
Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract comes from the Holy Basil plant. Holy Basil is native to India.
Holy Basil is rich in antioxidants due to its high romarinic acid, ferulic acid, and rutin content. This gives it skin brightening and soothing properties.
While Holy Basil has many claims to help fight acne, more research is needed.
One thing to note is the presence of tannins; tannins are naturally found in nature. However, this compound may be skin-sensitizing.
