Anastatica Hierochuntica Extract is derived from the resurrection plant (Rose of Jericho) and is used in skincare for its antioxidant, soothing, and hydration-supporting properties attributed to flavonoids and phenolic compounds. It is generally included for protective and conditioning effects rather than as a primary clinical active.
