Botanical Complex 57 – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Botanical Complex 57 is an advanced sensory-biological hydration and buffering system designed to improve glide, hydration behavior, texture, comfort, barrier support and active tolerability. It acts as a necessary component for smoothing routines, reducing irritation, and elevating skin feel, especially when layering strong actives like retinol, acids, and vitamin C. This water-dispersible complex, composed of botanical extracts, polysaccharides, and emollient esters, optimizes moisture behavior, enhances slip and spreadability, and is generally non-irritating, making it ideal for daily use at concentrations up to 10% MSUC for a truly luxurious, irritation-free, multi-step skincare experience.
