PRUNUS CAMPANULATA/YEDOENSIS FLOWER EXTRACT

Description

PRUNUS CAMPANULATA/YEDOENSIS FLOWER EXTRACT is a botanical ingredient derived from the flowers of two cherry blossom species: Prunus campanulata (Taiwan cherry) and Prunus yedoensis (Yoshino cherry). This extract is gaining attention in skincare formulations for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, it may help protect the skin against oxidative stress and environmental aggressors.

The extract contains compounds that can contribute to skin brightening and evening out skin tone. It may assist in inhibiting melanin production, potentially reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties could help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.

In skincare products, PRUNUS CAMPANULATA/YEDOENSIS FLOWER EXTRACT is often incorporated into serums, moisturizers, and masks. It can complement other active ingredients and is generally well-tolerated by most skin types. While research on its specific efficacy is still emerging, preliminary studies suggest it may contribute to overall skin health and appearance. As with any botanical extract, patch testing is recommended to ensure individual compatibility.
