Diospyros Kaki Leaf Extract
This botanical extract comes from the leaves of Diospyros kaki, the persimmon tree. It's included for a soothing, conditioned finish, and its tannins and flavonoids suggest antioxidant capacity, though support for visible topical efficacy is limited.

Our take
Is Diospyros Kaki Leaf Extract a Good Ingredient?
Fair rating: contains tannins and flavonoids that can lend soothing and antioxidant benefits, yet evidence for clear topical results is limited. As with many botanicals, there is a small risk of irritation or allergy in sensitive users.

Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Used in toners, essences, sheet masks, and after-sun gels for post-cleansing comfort and replenishment.
Before you use it
Safety
Considered safe at routine cosmetic concentrations; patch testing is recommended for reactive skin due to potential plant-derived sensitizers. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue.
