Red Clover Extract
Red Clover Extract is a gentle, plant-derived ingredient commonly used in UK skincare and haircare products for its soothing and antioxidant properties. Rich in isoflavones and flavonoids, it helps protect the skin from environmental stressors while supporting a smoother, more even complexion. It is a popular choice in natural and clean beauty formulations.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare Red Clover Extract functions primarily as a soothing antioxidant and conditioning agent. Its natural isoflavones and flavonoids help neutralise free radicals, while its mild astringent properties can refine the appearance of pores and support skin clarity. It is often included in serums, creams and hair treatments to deliver a softer feel and improved resilience against daily environmental exposure.
