Orchid Extract

Orchid extract is derived from various species of orchids and is used in cosmetics for its purported antioxidant and moisturizing properties. While orchids are known for their beauty, scientific evidence supporting significant skincare benefits from their extracts is limited. It is generally considered a mild ingredient.
