Aegle (Bael) Marmelos extract is derived from the fruit, leaves, or bark of the bael tree and is rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, coumarins, and tannins that provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. In skincare it is used to help protect against oxidative stress and support skin conditioning.
