Cornflower water is the water fraction obtained when processing the flowers of Centaurea cyanus. INCI: Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water. In a formula it works as a mild soothing and toning component: it is traditionally used in eye-area products and for sensitive skin and gives a light refreshing feel. Its action is mild and the topical evidence is modest, so it is a pleasant soothing base rather than a strong standalone active. Pregnancy safety. Topical use is systemically negligible, with no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin.
