Alchemilla vulgaris extract is derived from the lady's mantle plant. Lady's mantle is rich in tannins, compounds that are responsible for the plant's astringent properties.
As an astringent ingredient in skincare, the extract provides a tightened feeling to the skin, as well as some anti-inflammatory properties.
The plant allegedly got its English name from the leaves that resemble the hooded cloaks that women used to wear back in the day, and its Latin name Alchemilla from the fact that the round funnel-like leaves often hold a droplet of water or dew, which was considered a magical ingredient by alchemists.
