White nettle is rich in antioxidant compounds that confer anti-inflammatory properties, making it a soothing ingredient in beauty and facial care. The wild plant also has astringent and decongestant properties, which are very beneficial for re-balancing acne-prone skin. A good source of vitamin A, white nettle is edible and, unlike green stinging nettle, the young leaves can be eaten raw in salads.

White nettle's saponin and antioxidant content give it astringent and decongestant properties, helping to re-balance oily, acne-prone skin.
