About this ingredient
Arabidopsis Thaliana Extract comes from thale cress, a plant widely used in research. Its INCI is Arabidopsis Thaliana Extract. It is included in formulas on the idea of helping skin resist environmental stress. The maker links the extract with protection against external factors, but independent data are sparse. View it as a supporting active with a modest evidence base, part of a formula concept rather than an ingredient with strong standalone proven effect. Topically it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good and irritation and allergy risk are low. It suits sensitive skin and is not comedogenic, so it fits oily or acne-prone skin too.
