Alchemilla Vulgaris (lady's mantle) leaf extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in tannins and flavonoids, used in skincare for its astringent, soothing, and antioxidant properties. It is often included in formulations targeting oily or reactive skin and to support a refined, toned appearance.

| Mild skin irritation | Rare | Possible in sensitive individuals, partly attributable to tannin content. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Botanical extracts can occasionally trigger hypersensitivity reactions. |
| Dryness or tightness | Rare | Astringent tannins may contribute to a dry sensation with frequent use. |
