About this ingredient
Anigozanthos flavidus (kangaroo paw) extract (INCI: Anigozanthos Flavidus Extract) is a plant extract used in cosmetics as a humectant and soothing agent. In a formula it helps support hydration and calm the skin. On efficacy, it is a supporting component. The humectant side adds comfort and the soothing action eases the feel of reactive skin, but specific independent data on this plant are scarce. It fits better alongside better-supported humectants and soothers than as a lead active. Applied topically it has no systemic impact, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good, with low irritation and allergy potential. It does not clog pores and suits sensitive skin.
