Achyrocline Satureiodes Flower Extract is derived from the South American 'marcela' plant and is rich in flavonoids (such as quercetin and luteolin) and phenolic compounds, valued in skincare for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. It is used to help protect skin against oxidative stress and calm irritation.
