Bellis Perennis Description
(Daisy) Flower Extract.
helps protect skin from environmental damage and can promote a more even skin tone through the interruption of melanin-producing enzymes within skin’s surface layers.
flower extract can improve firmness through the stimulation of supportive compounds within skin. However, more research needs to be done for this to be an accepted claim. Daisy extract isn’t an anti-aging wunderkind.
(daisy) extract’s dark side is that it can contain a skin-sensitizing plant metabolite, sesquiterpene lactone. Overall, there are better, more studied antioxidants available that deliver benefits without risks of sensitization.
Note: Daisy extract can cross-react with feverfew extract, a soothing plant used in some skin care products. It’s best to avoid products that contain both ingredients, especially if you have a known history of allergies to plants in the Chrysanthemum family.
According to supplier-provided information, Bellis perennis extract can be used in cosmetics between 1.0%-5.0%.
