Fair: promising antioxidant/soothing potential but human topical evidence is limited and extract variability makes results inconsistent. Some users may experience irritation or allergic reactions to plant compounds.

May help soften the appearance of dullness and support a calmer-looking complexion; current topical evidence remains limited.
Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Appears in lightweight serums, gels, and daily moisturizers, including post-exposure calming formulas.
Before you use it
Safety
Generally considered safe in rinse-off and leave-on products, but botanicals can trigger irritation or sensitization in reactive skin. Patch testing is advisable for those with plant allergies.
