DAPHNE FEDDEI LEAF EXTRACT

Description

Daphne Feddei Leaf Extract is a botanical ingredient derived from the leaves of the Daphne feddei plant, a shrub native to China. This extract has gained attention in skincare formulations for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds, it may help protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

The extract is known to contain umbelliferone, a natural coumarin with photoprotective qualities that may assist in shielding the skin from UV-induced damage. Additionally, Daphne Feddei Leaf Extract has demonstrated potential in improving skin barrier function and promoting hydration retention.

In skincare products, this ingredient is typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 1%. It can be incorporated into various formulations, including serums, moisturizers, and anti-aging treatments. While research on its efficacy is still emerging, preliminary studies suggest it may have soothing effects on sensitive or irritated skin.

As with any botanical extract, patch testing is recommended to ensure compatibility, particularly for individuals with sensitive skin or known plant allergies. Further clinical studies are needed to fully elucidate its benefits and optimal usage in skincare applications.
