Botanical extract from the roots of Ononis spinosa (restharrow). In cosmetics it is used primarily as a skin-conditioning, soothing, and anti-sebum ingredient rather than as a high-potency active. The extract contains a complex mixture of plant constituents, so its chemistry varies with extraction method and source material.
