In brief

Tannic acid is a naturally occurring plant polyphenol, often derived from sources like oak galls or tree bark, used in cosmetics as an astringent, meaning it helps tighten or contract the skin's surface. It's also used for masking, helping to reduce or disguise the odour of a product's other ingredients.
