- What it does
- Actives & treatment
- Our take
- One of the few botanicals with a real evidence base. It calms inflammation, has some sebum-reducing effect, and supports the skin's own antioxidant defences. In several True Botanicals formulas it's the base rather than a token extract at the end of the list, which is the difference that matters.
