What it is

Ruscus Aculeatus (butcher's broom) root extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in steroidal saponins (ruscogenins) used in skincare for its vasoconstrictive, anti-inflammatory, and microcirculation-supporting properties, often included in products targeting redness, puffiness, and under-eye concerns. It is valued for its potential to strengthen capillary walls and reduce visible vascular irritation.
