Chaste Tree
INCI Name: Vitex Agnus-Castus Fruit Extract
Vitex agnus-castus (chaste tree) fruit extract has been used in traditional herbal medicine for centuries to support women's hormonal balance, particularly in the management of premenstrual symptoms (PMS) and menstrual discomfort.
Its main bioactive constituents include iridoid glycosides (especially agnuside and aucubin), flavonoids, and diterpenes.
