Ingredient
Pinus Pinaster Bark Extract
Low risk
FunctionAntioxidant Botanical
Maritime pine bark — the source of the branded antioxidant Pycnogenol — is one of the most studied plant polyphenol sources. In skincare the extract contributes procyanidins that scavenge free radicals and support capillary resilience, typically riding low on an ingredient list as part of an antioxidant support cast.
Why we grade it Low: EWG-style low. A polyphenol (procyanidin) extract with a long oral and topical safety record and no notable sensitization signal.
