About
Common sage extract — a classic astringent and antimicrobial herb. Carries thujone and camphor, so cosmetic levels are kept low and it is a slightly cautious pick for sensitive skin.
Function
Skin benefits
- Carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid are antioxidants
- Mild antimicrobial action
- Astringent for oily, blemish-prone skin
Known concerns
- Contains thujone, a neurotoxic monoterpene
- EU restricts thujone in cosmetic preparations
- Camphor and 1,8-cineole add mild irritation potential
