What it is
Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract is derived from the bark of the African yellow wood tree and is used in cosmetics for its conditioning and astringent-style properties. It is frequently included in products marketed for oily or combination skin and for a smoother, more refined skin surface. In tone-up and pore-focused sunscreens it appears as a botanical functional additive.
