Phyllanthus Emblica Extract (Indian gooseberry/amla) is a polyphenol- and vitamin C-rich botanical used in skincare for its antioxidant and skin-brightening properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and support a more even skin tone. It is also valued for its stability and chelating capacity in formulations.
