Korean Clover Extract
Korean Clover Extract is a gentle, antioxidant-rich botanical ingredient derived from a wild clover native to East Asia. Increasingly popular in K-beauty and clean skincare, it offers soothing and brightening properties while being suitable for sensitive skin.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Korean Clover Extract functions as a soothing and antioxidant agent. It helps calm visible redness and irritation, supports the skin’s natural barrier, and provides a mild brightening effect that can improve the appearance of dull or uneven tone. Formulators value its lightweight profile, making it ideal for lightweight serums, moisturisers, sheet masks and eye creams where a non-irritating, plant-based active is desired.
