Lycium Barbarum (Goji) Fruit Extract is a botanical extract rich in polysaccharides, carotenoids (including zeaxanthin), and vitamins, used in skincare for its antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties. It is thought to help neutralize free radicals and support skin protection against environmental stressors.
