Once just a garnish on a platter of sushi, shiso is now the hottest ingredient in skincare and anti-aging science. This potent antioxidant is popping up in everything from soap to hair masks as a way to detoxify and protect skin from pollutants and UV rays. Here are a few products containing shiso:
- Zelens Radical Defense Serum ($200) uses shiso to help prevent and repair visible signs of premature aging.
- Roger and Gallet Shiso Energizing Body Cream ($25) uses shiso extract to wake up and stimulate your skin. It also has rice extract, so it’s basically like eating hibachi.
- THANN Shiso Hair Mask ($29) uses Shiso extract as a natural anti-oxidant and moisturizer.
- Calvin Klein IN2U For Him Cologne ($38) features Shiso leaves as a heart note.
- BURN Liquid Shiso Tea Leaf Hand Wash ($24) includes Shiso leaf along with white tea, green tea and bamboo sap. Asian influence galore!
