Rhubarb Root Extract
A targeted botanical active that helps support the skin's natural moisture-maintaining processes for smoother, softer, better-hydrated-looking skin.
Why This Ingredient Matters
Rhubarb Root Extract offers a different approach to hydration. Rather than simply supplying a conventional humectant, the specific Rhubarb Root Extract used by Luzern is standardized for rhaponticin and related hydroxystilbenes and is designed to support the skin's own moisture-maintaining processes. This makes it particularly useful for skin experiencing dehydration, dryness, or loss of suppleness.
Why Formulation Matters
Effective hydration is not created by a single ingredient or mechanism. Humectants can attract water, emollients can soften and replenish, and targeted actives can support the processes that help skin maintain its own moisture balance.
Luzern combines Rhubarb Root Extract with complementary humectants, botanical extracts, and fermentation-derived ingredients to approach hydration from multiple directions rather than relying on one familiar moisturizing ingredient.
