Euphrasia Officinalis (eyebright) extract is a plant-derived ingredient used in skincare for its soothing, mild astringent, and antioxidant properties, often included in formulas targeting sensitive or irritated skin and the eye area. It contains flavonoids, tannins, and iridoid glycosides believed to contribute mild anti-inflammatory effects.
