About OAK ROOT EXTRACT
A tannin-rich botanical extract that can help with oil control or skin feel, but may also feel drying.
Detailed Analysis
Oak Root Extract is the extract of the roots of oak tree species Quercus. In cosmetics it is used mainly as a skin-conditioning agent. Tannin-rich botanical extracts can give antioxidant or oil-controlling effects, but they also tend to feel drying or sting on compromised skin. That makes them better suited to oilier skin than very dry or eczema-prone skin.
