  • Gently purifies the skin’s surface
  • Provides a smoother appearance
  • Contributes to refreshing the skin

Alignment with Clean Beauty and Natural Ingredients

In line with consumer expectations for “transparent ingredients,” plant-based actives have gained even more importance.

Blackberry leaf extract:

  • Offers a natural alternative to synthetic astringents
