Sarothamnus Scoparius Extract

Sarothamnus Scoparius Extract comes from the broom plant (Cytisus scoparius), a shrub with a long history in traditional medicine. The extract is rich in flavonoids and carotenoids, naturally occurring compounds known for their antioxidant properties.In skincare formulations, this ingredient functions as an antioxidant, meaning it helps neutralise free radicals and reactive oxygen species that can contribute to skin damage and premature ageing. The extract is typically incorporated into serums, creams and other topical products at relatively low concentrations.

Free radicals form when skin is exposed to UV radiation, pollution and other environmental stressors. These unstable molecules can damage cell structures and accelerate skin ageing. Antioxidants like those in Sarothamnus Scoparius Extract work by donating electrons to neutralise free radicals, preventing them from causing further damage.The flavonoids and carotenoids in this extract have demonstrated radical scavenging capacity in laboratory studies, meaning they can effectively reduce reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that contribute to skin damage.

This ingredient is typically found in antioxidant serums and creams designed for daily skincare routines. It works well alongside other antioxidants and can be used morning and evening as part of your regular regime. Allow products to absorb fully before applying additional treatments.

Sarothamnus Scoparius Extract is generally considered safe for topical use. As with any plant extract, individuals with known sensitivity to broom plant or related species should exercise caution.
