Passiflora Incarnata (Passion Flower) Extract
Passiflora incarnata (passion flower) extract is a botanical fraction obtained from the plant's aerial parts. Skincare uses it in a calming, antioxidant-leaning role in gentle formulas, though the supporting evidence is modest and depends on method.

Is Passiflora Incarnata (Passion Flower) Extract a Good Ingredient?

Botanicals like this one can also trigger irritation or allergic reactions, especially in fragrance-sensitive skin, which keeps it out of Good territory.
