Chrysanthemum Sinense Flower Extract

Chrysanthemum sinense flower extract is derived from the petals and flowers of the Chinese chrysanthemum plant. It functions primarily as a gentle cleanser and mild surfactant in skincare formulations, helping to remove oil and impurities from the skin's surface.This ingredient has been used in traditional Asian skincare for centuries and is now incorporated into modern formulations, particularly those targeting oily or combination skin. Its mild cleansing action makes it suitable for everyday use without the harshness of synthetic surfactants.

Chrysanthemum extract functions as a surfactant, meaning its molecular structure has both water-loving and oil-loving ends. This allows it to surround oil droplets and help suspend them in water, so they rinse away more easily during cleansing.The extract also contains naturally occurring plant compounds that may provide antioxidant support, though the extent of this benefit in skincare products depends on concentration and formulation stability.

Chrysanthemum extract is typically used in cleansers, micellar waters, and makeup removers. Since it functions as a cleanser, use it as part of your regular cleansing routine rather than as a treatment product. It works well in both morning and evening skincare regimens. For best results, follow with your regular toners and treatments suited to your skin concerns.

Generally well-tolerated, with low irritation potential. Those with known allergies to chrysanthemum or other plants in the Asteraceae family (daisy, ragweed, etc.) should patch test first.
