Rich in terpenoids, flavonoids and phenolic compounds that confer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well as vitamin K and hydroethanolic extract that promotes wound healing, Sage is a good ingredient in a supporting role for acne and hyperpigmentation treating formulations.

Although the ingredient is generally not differentiated by derivatives or variations, terpenoids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, vitamins and minerals are present in various regions of the whole organism. Therefore, to provide a wide spectrum of nutrients to the skin, a whole plant extract is preferred over extraction of a specified region.
