Sage Extract

What is it?

Sage extract comes from Salvia species (most commonly Salvia officinalis), used in skincare for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

What does it do?

Commonly used as an antioxidant botanical extract to help support skin against oxidative stress and inflammation. A comprehensive review of eight Salvia species found real anti-aging potential across oxidative stress, inflammation and tissue-remodeling mechanisms, and an animal wound-healing study found topical Salvia miltiorrhiza reduced oxidative stress markers and improved wound healing.
