CITRUS AURANTIFOLIA FLOWER/SAMBUCUS NIGRA FLOWER EXTRACT

Description

CITRUS AURANTIFOLIA FLOWER/SAMBUCUS NIGRA FLOWER EXTRACT is a potent botanical blend combining the essences of lime blossom and elderflower. This dual-action extract offers a synergistic approach to skincare, harnessing the unique properties of both flowers. Citrus aurantifolia flower, derived from the lime tree, is rich in flavonoids and antioxidants, providing protective benefits against environmental stressors and free radical damage. It also exhibits mild astringent properties, helping to refine pore appearance and balance oil production. Sambucus nigra flower, commonly known as elderflower, contributes additional antioxidant power through its high content of quercetin and kaempferol. These compounds support skin's natural defense mechanisms and promote a more even, radiant complexion. The extract demonstrates soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. Its natural bioactive compounds may help improve skin elasticity and hydration levels. When incorporated into skincare formulations, this extract can enhance overall skin health, promote a more youthful appearance, and provide a natural approach to addressing various skin concerns.
