Epilobium Fleischeri (Willowherb) Extract description

_Epilobium fleischeri_, also known as Alpine willowherb, is a plant extract that has documented skin-calming and antioxidant benefits, largely from its impressive mix of polyphenols. Although some of the information around this plant is more folklore than fact, isolated compounds (chiefly a class of polyphenols known as flavonoids) from this plant have been extensively studied and proven to be helpful when applied to skin.
