CHRYSANTHEMUM MORIFOLIUM FLOWER EXTRACT
CHRYSANTHEMUM MORIFOLIUM FLOWER EXTRACT is a flower extract from Chrysanthemum × morifolium, a member of the Asteraceae family. The label name refers to the floral extract rather than to one single molecule, so it contains compounds transferred from the flower into the extraction medium.
CHRYSANTHEMUM MORIFOLIUM FLOWER EXTRACT: what it is
CHRYSANTHEMUM MORIFOLIUM FLOWER EXTRACT is a flower extract from Chrysanthemum × morifolium, a member of the Asteraceae family. The label name refers to the floral extract rather than to one single molecule, so it contains compounds transferred from the flower into the extraction medium.
Cultivated chrysanthemums include flowers of different colours. That distinction matters because the extract can vary with the cultivar, the floral material selected, and the extraction method; a study of purple, yellow, and white flowers found different phenolic and flavonoid profiles.
CHRYSANTHEMUM MORIFOLIUM FLOWER EXTRACT: what it does in cosmetics
In cosmetics, Chrysanthemum Morifolium Flower Extract is used for skin conditioning. For someone using the product, this points to a formula intended to leave skin feeling comfortable and soft to the touch, rather than to a medicinal treatment.
A study of flower extracts prepared in water and propylene glycol found antioxidant, anti-glycation, and anti-collagenase activity in laboratory assays, with results differing by flower colour. These findings help explain interest in the extract, but they do not establish the same effect for every product applied to skin or replace human clinical studies.
