DAPHNE FEDDEI FLOWER/LEAF/STEM EXTRACT

Description

Daphne Feddei Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract is a botanical ingredient derived from the Daphne feddei plant, native to regions of China. This extract is gaining attention in skincare formulations for its potential anti-aging and skin-protective properties. Rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds, it offers antioxidant benefits that may help neutralize free radicals and combat oxidative stress.

The extract contains coumarins, which are known for their anti-inflammatory effects, potentially soothing sensitive or irritated skin. Some studies suggest it may have skin-brightening capabilities, possibly due to its ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity. This could make it valuable in formulations targeting hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone.

Daphne Feddei Extract may also contribute to skin barrier function improvement, helping to maintain hydration and protect against environmental stressors. Its potential collagen-stimulating properties could aid in enhancing skin elasticity and firmness. While promising, more extensive clinical studies are needed to fully elucidate its efficacy and optimal concentration in skincare products. As with any botanical extract, patch testing is recommended to ensure compatibility with individual skin types.
