Our take
Is Anthriscus Sylvestris Extract a Good Ingredient?
This lands at Fair because evidence for distinct skin benefits is modest and largely general to botanicals rather than this species. As with many plant extracts, there’s a risk of irritation or sensitization in sensitive skin.

Safety
Generally considered safe in leave-on amounts, but botanicals can trigger irritation or allergic reactions, especially on reactive skin. Apiaceae plants may contain furocoumarins that can increase sun sensitivity.
