About this ingredient
Camellia Japonica Flower Extract is an extract from the flowers of the Japanese camellia. Its INCI name is Camellia Japonica Flower Extract. In a formula it provides plant antioxidants, soothes the skin, and helps hold water at the surface. On efficacy, the fair framing is a supportive ingredient. It softens and gives a mild antioxidant action, but clinical data specific to this extract are limited. It complements a soothing formula well without being the lead active. Applied topically it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is high, with a low irritation and allergy potential, and it suits sensitive skin. Most people see no reaction.
