Products with Botanical Extracts

Botanical Extracts are plant-derived ingredients valued for their antioxidant, hydrating, and soothing properties. Browse ELLEMES products formulated with botanical extracts.

Plant extracts, and what they are actually doing

A botanical extract is a plant fraction pulled into a solvent and standardized so a formulator can dose it predictably. The ones that earn their place in medical-grade skincare tend to be antioxidant polyphenols, soothing terpenes or mild humectant sugars, which is why green tea, chamomile, licorice, oat and aloe keep reappearing on these labels.

They span the catalogue here, from stem-cell formulas such as CALECIM Restorative Hydration Cream and CALECIM Pigment Solution, to SkinMedica Even & Correct and lash conditioners including RevitaLash Advanced.

Are botanical ingredients gentler than synthetic ones?

Not inherently. Plant origin says nothing about tolerance, and several of the most common contact sensitizers in cosmetics are botanical essential oils. What matters is the specific extract, the concentration it is used at, and whether the finished formula was tested on reactive skin.
