Science & Benefits
Verbascum Thapsus, or Mullein, is a botanical extract prized for its extraordinarily high mucilage content. Mucilage is a thick, glue-like substance produced by plants to store water; topically, it functions as a biological 'patch' that hydrates and softens the skin surface. It is exceptionally effective at soothing the 'tightness' associated with a dehydrated skin barrier. Because it is water-soluble and non-occlusive, it carries a zero comedogenic rating. It is a bulletproof choice for providing slip and hydration in serums designed for acne-prone skin that is currently undergoing aggressive, drying treatments.
