CYMBOPOGON SCHOENANTHUS EXTRACT: what it is
Cymbopogon schoenanthus extract is a plant extract obtained from Cymbopogon schoenanthus, a species in the Poaceae family, the botanical family of grasses. It may appear on a skin-care ingredient list in its uppercase INCI form, CYMBOPOGON SCHOENANTHUS EXTRACT.
This ingredient comes from the plant rather than being a single isolated chemical. It should also be distinguished from Cymbopogon schoenanthus essential oil: they are different preparations even when they originate from the same species. That distinction matters because the components present and the way a material is used can vary with the preparation.
CYMBOPOGON SCHOENANTHUS EXTRACT: what it does in cosmetics
In cosmetics, Cymbopogon schoenanthus extract is used for skin conditioning and soothing. For the person using the product, skin conditioning means supporting a more comfortable feel and a more pleasant skin touch; what is noticed in use depends on the whole formula and the amount included.
Laboratory research has examined Cymbopogon schoenanthus essential oil against bacteria, but it did not test this extract in a cosmetic applied to skin. Those results therefore do not show that this ingredient treats acne, infections, or another skin condition. Its plausible cosmetic role is the sensory support it brings to the finished formula.
