About
A plant-derived extract used mainly to condition skin and add antioxidant or soothing support.
Rheum Rhabarbarum Extract is the extract of the whole plant, Rheum rhabarbarum, Polygonaceae. In cosmetics it is mainly used for skin-conditioning support. Botanical extracts are complex mixtures, so the main safety issues are plant allergy and batch variability rather than strong systemic toxicity.
