Meadowsweet (or Spiraea ulmaria) is an antioxidant-rich plant known for its anti-inflammatory benefits, thanks to its intrinsic compounds of flavonoids (naturally occurring plant compounds that protect from environmental aggressors) and phenolic acids (natural skin-beneficial antioxidants).
Additionally, it is believed meadowsweet may be beneficial for those with oily skin, as it has the ability to inhibit a skin enzyme that triggers excess oil production.
