A water hyacinth extract. It soothes and supports skin hydration. Well tolerated.
Topical application
BLimited evidence. One RCT or several controlled studies with limitations.
A soothing plant extract. Safe.
Eichhornia Crassipes Extract is the extract of water hyacinth, an aquatic plant rich in polysaccharides and polyphenols. It's used in creams and masks with a soothing, hydrating profile. On efficacy: a supporting ingredient. Plant polysaccharides hold water at the surface and give a softening feel, while polyphenols add some antioxidant capacity. Specific clinical evidence is limited, so it's best seen as a pleasant adjunct rather than a defining active. It helps hydration and eases the feeling of tightness, without promising deep change. Topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding poses no problem. Tolerance is high, with low irritation and allergy potential. Suitable for sensitive skin. As a botanical extract, a patch test is reasonable for very reactive skin.
