Spiraea Ulmaria (meadowsweet) flower extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in salicylates, tannins, and flavonoids, used in skincare for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It is often included to help tone skin, reduce excess sebum, and provide mild soothing effects.
