What Is Arnica?
Arnica is derived from the bright yellow flowers of Arnica montana, a perennial plant native to the mountains of Europe. It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries to address bruising, swelling, and muscle discomfort.
In skincare, arnica extract contains active compounds including sesquiterpene lactones and flavonoids that give it calming properties. The extract is commonly used in formulations designed to reduce the appearance of under-eye darkness and puffiness.
Arnica is frequently found in post-procedure skincare, body treatments, and products targeting tired or stressed skin. Its botanical origins make it popular in natural and clean beauty formulations.
