An extract from the fruit of Euterpe oleracea (acai palm), rich in anthocyanins, flavonoids, and fatty acids that provide strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
A plant antioxidant that stabilizes and boosts vitamins C and E.
Extract from the fruit of Forsythia suspensa (weeping forsythia), a plant central to traditional East Asian medicine. Contains forsythin, phillyrin, and rutin. Has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and mild antimicrobial properties. Used in Elixir's brightening emulsions.
Extract from Fragaria ananassa (cultivated strawberry), one of the most widely grown berry crops. Contains ellagic acid, quercetin, kaempferol, and anthocyanins alongside natural vitamin C. Used in lip glows, brightening, and antioxidant formulas for its pleasant sensory associations and functional polyphenol content. A common co-ingredient with other berry extracts (raspberry, blueberry, cloudberry) in K-beauty lip and brightening lines.
An extract from wild strawberry fruit (Fragaria vesca) rich in ellagic acid and anthocyanins that deliver antioxidant protection and help brighten skin tone.
An extract of the leaves of the wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) used in cosmetics for its polyphenol-rich antioxidant and soothing properties.
A cage-structured carbon molecule (C60) used in cosmetics as an exceptionally potent antioxidant that neutralizes reactive oxygen species to protect against oxidative aging.
A yeast ferment filtrate rich in amino acids and vitamins, used for radiance and texture (K & J beauty).
Extract from the pericarp (peel) of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana). Contains alpha-mangostin and other xanthones that are among the most potent plant antioxidants known. Used in Elixir Retino Power Cream as an antioxidant booster.
A general gardenia extract (typically from Gardenia jasminoides) containing antioxidant crocins and iridoid glycosides, distinct from the more specific Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract entry; used for antioxidant and soothing effects.
An extract from the fruit of Gardenia florida (Cape jasmine) containing crocin and other antioxidant polyphenols that protect skin from oxidative stress.
An extract of the root of Gentiana lutea (yellow gentian) rich in secoiridoid glycosides and xanthones, used in cosmetics for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening effects.
A flavonoid-rich ginkgo leaf extract that provides antioxidant protection and soothes skin.
Extract from the nut of Ginkgo biloba (maidenhair tree); distinct INCI from the more common leaf extract. Used in Korean hanbang formulas alongside other traditional herbal ingredients.
An enzymatically glycosylated form of hesperidin (a citrus bioflavonoid) with superior water solubility. Provides antioxidant and mild anti-inflammatory benefits, and is often paired with other flavonoids in sensitive-skin and brightening formulas.
An enzymatically glycosylated form of rutin (a bioflavonoid from buckwheat and apple) with greatly improved water solubility. Provides antioxidant and mild anti-inflammatory benefits, and is often used in brightening and barrier-support formulas.
Glucosylrutin is rutin (a flavonoid glycoside: quercetin-3-rutinoside) with one or more glucose units attached via enzymatic transglucosylation, producing a more water-soluble derivative. The modification preserves the antioxidant and vascular-protective activity of rutin while enabling its use in aqueous cosmetic formulas where native rutin is poorly soluble. Used in K-beauty serums as a gentle antioxidant and anti-redness active.
A tripeptide antioxidant valued in skincare for its skin-brightening and free-radical-scavenging effects.
A soybean seed extract rich in isoflavones and antioxidants that helps condition and brighten skin.
Glycine Max Leaf Extract (soybean leaf extract) is derived from the leaves of the soybean plant, which are particularly rich in isoflavones (genistein, daidzein), flavonoids, and phenylpropanoids. The leaf fraction has a notably high antioxidant capacity and is distinct from the more commonly used soy seed extracts (which focus on proteins and phytosterols). In premium Korean skincare it serves as an antioxidant botanical, often included in multi-extract complexes.
An extract from Vitis vinifera grape fruit, rich in polyphenols (resveratrol, proanthocyanidins, flavonoids) that delivers antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory skin benefits.
Expressed juice from Vitis vinifera grapes used in lip and skin formulations to deliver antioxidant polyphenols, resveratrol, and natural sugars for hydration.
A polyphenol-rich antioxidant that also calms skin.
A ferment filtrate combining Grifola frondosa (maitake mushroom) and Ophioglossum vulgatum (adder's tongue fern) extracts; the fermentation process enhances bioavailability of beta-glucans and flavonoids for antioxidant and brightening effects.
