A soothing and antioxidant extract derived from common glasswort. It contains plenty of minerals, various flavonoids, phenolic acids, and polysaccharides, and has the potential to perform anti-pigment activity.

Salicornia herbacea extract is an antioxidant extract derived from the common glasswort (Salicornia herbacea), a small grass-like plant that grows on extremely salty soils in salt marshes and on seashores.
Salicornia herbacea extract contains large concentrations of minerals, various flavonoids, phenolic acids, and polysaccharides. The extract has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties (according to experiments in test-tubes) and another study suggests that it might also be a tyrosinase inhibitor (tyrosinase is a key enzyme in the creation of the brown skin pigment melanin), which would make it a potential anti-pigment ingredient.
Naturally, more tests on volunteers are necessary to confirm this.
