About
Eyebright (Euphrasia) whole-plant powder — a traditional herb used for soothing, with tannin and iridoid content.
Euphrasia officinalis powder is the dried, ground whole-plant (or aerial parts) of eyebright, a traditional European herb. It contains iridoid glycosides (aucubin), flavonoids, and tannins. Topical and oral traditional use for eye conditions dates back centuries, though modern clinical evidence is limited. In cosmetics the powder is used in traditional-inspired masks and eye-area formulations. Particulate/powder form requires good processing hygiene. No specific CIR opinion, but the plant is in the EU food and herbal compendia.
