Malachite Extract
Malachite Extract is derived from the malachite mineral stone through a multi-step process: the stone is ground, then solubilized using hydrochloric acid, and finally neutralized with sodium bicarbonate. It is a mineral-origin extract rather than a botanical one. It appears in a variety of serums, mists, and moisturizers across different skincare product categories.
