What it does
A lysate derived from cultured lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) plant cells, standardized for polyphenol content and used to protect skin against oxidative stress from UV and blue-light exposure. As an antioxidant ingredient, it is particularly valued for antioxidant protection against uv- and blue-light-induced oxidative stress, rich in rosmarinic acid and polyphenols, and supports skin resilience against environmental stressors.

Suitable for all skin types. Antioxidants are especially valuable for skin exposed to daily UV and environmental stressors — which is essentially everyone.
