Smoke Tree Extract

Smoke Tree Extract is sourced from the leaves and stems of Cotinus coggygria, a plant historically used in traditional Chinese medicine and European dyeing. The extract contains sulfuretin (a yellow flavonoid), fustin, and tannins (ellagitannins), which contribute to its antioxidant and astringent properties. Standardized to ≥10% total flavonoids, it is typically extracted using hydroalcoholic methods.
