Star Ingredients - Rumex occidentalis extract

Rumex occidentalis extract

Rumex extract is derived from plants of the Rumex genus, native to the Canadian Prairies. This abundant plant is easily recognized by the deep, rust-coloured seeds that colour the fields from early summer through late fall. Rumex extract is a highly effective inhibitor of tyrosinase, an enzyme present in both human skin and plant tissue. Tyrosinase inhibition reduces the formation of unwanted pigmentation and improves skin tone.

Rumex extract has been shown to be effective in reducing the appearance of age spots.
