Spinacia Oleracea Leaf Extract

Spinacia oleracea leaf extract is a rich source of natural antioxidant compounds that are beneficial for protecting skin against environmental stressors and visible signs of ageing. This plant extract is noted in research for its soothing qualities, which is a welcome benefit for all skin types, especially compromised/reactive skin.

Commonly known as spinach, Spinacia oleracea has also been shown to have potential for decreasing the visible appearance of skin discolourations by interrupting their enzymatic triggers.

Similar to other antioxidant-rich plant extracts, Spinacia oleracea leaf extract works most effectively in formulations that are packaged in airtight, opaque containers to limit exposure to destructive elements. Avoid jar packageing as it would allow this extract’s beneficial compounds to deteriorate prematurely due to routine air and light exposure.

In addition to its skin care applications, Spinacia oleracea is highly regarded for its many medicinal purposes, where it has a long history of safe use.
