GOSSYPIUM HERBACEUM FLOWER EXTRACT: what it is
Gossypium Herbaceum Flower Extract is an extract obtained from the flowers of Gossypium herbaceum L., a cotton species in the Malvaceae family. On an ingredient list, GOSSYPIUM HERBACEUM FLOWER EXTRACT refers to that floral material, not to the cotton fibre used in textiles.
Its name also distinguishes it from derivatives made from cotton seeds or from other parts of the plant. Gossypium herbaceum is recognised as an accepted plant species, while this botanical raw material is specifically associated with its flowers.
GOSSYPIUM HERBACEUM FLOWER EXTRACT: what it does in cosmetics
In cosmetics, Gossypium Herbaceum Flower Extract can contribute as a humectant and skin-conditioning ingredient. In everyday terms, these functions relate to a formula intended to retain water and leave the skin feeling softer and more comfortable as the product is applied.
That role does not make the floral extract a treatment for acne, dark spots, wrinkles, or skin diseases. Its noticeable contribution depends on the product in which it is used; humectant and skin-conditioning functions explain its place in products designed around skin feel and comfort.
