INCI: Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract
Botanical antioxidant and conditioning support for fresh, balanced-feeling skin and scalp.
What Is Sage Extract?
Sage Extract is derived from the leaves of Salvia officinalis, an aromatic botanical with a long history of traditional use and a well-established place in modern cosmetic formulations.
Sage leaves naturally contain a diverse range of plant compounds, including polyphenols and other antioxidant constituents. In skin and scalp-care formulations, the extract is valued for its conditioning properties and its ability to complement products designed to promote a clean, refreshed, and balanced feel.
Benefits
Sage Extract helps condition the skin and scalp while contributing botanical antioxidant support. It is particularly useful in cleansing formulations designed to leave the skin and scalp feeling fresh, comfortable, and well cared for.
Rather than functioning as the primary cleansing ingredient, Sage works alongside the cleansing system and other botanicals to support the overall conditioning and sensory profile of the formula.
Sage + Antioxidant Support
Everyday environmental exposure can contribute to free-radical activity and oxidative stress, which can influence the visible appearance of skin over time.
Sage leaves contain naturally occurring antioxidant compounds, including polyphenols. When incorporated into a complete cosmetic formulation, Sage Extract contributes to a broader botanical antioxidant system that helps support healthy-looking skin.
Sage + Skin
Sage Extract provides botanical conditioning support within skincare formulations, making it especially appropriate for cleansers designed to remove daily buildup while maintaining a comfortable skin feel.
It complements humectants, emollients, and other botanical extracts incorporated into the formula to help leave skin feeling clean, refreshed, and conditioned after rinsing.
Sage + Scalp Care
The scalp regularly encounters excess oil, perspiration, styling products, and environmental buildup. Effective cleansing helps remove this accumulation, while thoughtfully selected conditioning ingredients help maintain scalp comfort.
Sage Extract contributes botanical conditioning and antioxidant support within scalp-care formulations, complementing the cleansing system to help maintain a fresh, clean, and balanced-feeling scalp.
Sage + Nettle
Sage and Nettle provide complementary botanical support within Awakening Wash. Both contribute naturally occurring antioxidant compounds while helping condition the skin and scalp.
Their different botanical profiles allow them to work as part of a broader plant-based system rather than relying on a single extract to provide all of the formula's botanical benefits.
Sage + Burdock Root and Horsetail
Sage is paired with Burdock Root and Horsetail to further expand the botanical conditioning profile of Awakening Wash.
Together with Nettle, Panax Ginseng, and other plant-derived ingredients, these extracts complement effective cleansing with antioxidant and conditioning support for both skin and scalp.
Why We Use Sage Extract
At Pure Intox, Sage Extract is incorporated into Awakening Wash as part of a multi-botanical approach to cleansing and conditioning the skin and scalp.
It works alongside Caffeine, Panax Ginseng, Burdock Root, Horsetail, Nettle, Hemp Seed Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Panthenol, and other complementary ingredients to support a cleansing experience that feels fresh, balanced, and comfortable.
This combination allows the formula to pair effective cleansing with botanical, antioxidant, hydration, and conditioning support rather than relying on aggressive cleansing alone.
Sourcing & Quality
Sage Extract is derived from the leaves of Salvia officinalis and selected for cosmetic purity, consistency, and compatibility with the finished formulation.
As with other botanical extracts, its composition can vary according to plant source, growing conditions, extraction method, concentration, and processing. Ingredient quality is therefore considered within the context of the complete cosmetic formulation.
