Buddleja (Budleya) extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in flavonoids and phenylethanoid glycosides, used in skincare for its antioxidant and photoprotective properties to help defend skin against oxidative and UV-induced stress. It is commonly included to support skin conditioning and to reduce signs of environmental damage.
