Coriandrum Sativum Extract

Coriandrum sativum extract is derived from coriander, a herb commonly used in cooking and traditional medicine across many cultures. The extract is obtained from the plant's seeds or leaves and contains compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.In skincare formulations, coriander extract functions as a skin conditioning agent. It is used to help maintain skin's appearance and feel, working through its natural phytochemical composition rather than a single active compound.

Coriander extract works primarily through its antioxidant compounds, which can help mitigate oxidative damage to skin cells. Oxidative stress contributes to visible ageing and skin barrier compromise, so antioxidant ingredients may support skin resilience over time.The extract also contains volatile oils and other phytochemicals that may contribute to its skin-conditioning effect, though the precise mechanism in topical skincare is not fully characterised.

Coriander extract is typically found in serums, toners, and moisturisers. Since it functions as a supporting ingredient rather than an active treatment, it works well alongside other evidence-led skincare components. Use as directed on product packaging, usually daily as part of your regular routine.

Coriander extract is generally well-tolerated and has a long history of use in food and traditional medicine. Those with known allergies to coriander or related plants should avoid products containing this ingredient.
