Diospyros Kaki (persimmon) leaf extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins, used in skincare for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and astringent properties. It is also studied for skin-brightening and anti-aging benefits due to its free-radical scavenging activity.
