Prunus Yedoensis (Yoshino cherry) Flower Extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in polyphenols and flavonoids used in skincare for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-conditioning effects. It is often included for its purported brightening and soothing properties, though robust clinical evidence is limited.
