Salicornia Herbacea Extract is derived from a salt-tolerant halophyte plant and is used in skincare for its humectant, antioxidant, and skin-conditioning properties, owing to its content of minerals, amino acids, and polysaccharides. It is often included to support hydration and improve skin barrier function.
