Torreya Nucifera Extract is derived from the Japanese nutmeg-yew (Torreya nucifera) and is used in skincare for its antioxidant and soothing properties, attributed to polyphenols and flavonoids. It functions primarily as a skin-conditioning agent that may help reduce oxidative stress and support skin barrier comfort.
