About this ingredient
Forsythia fruit extract (INCI Forsythia Suspensa Fruit Extract) comes from the fruit of this plant used in Asian herbal practice. It brings antioxidants such as forsythin and lignans, and in a formula it helps soothe and support antioxidant defense. On efficacy let us be honest: the topical evidence is modest. It is a supporting component with a reasonable soothing profile, not a lead active that changes skin on its own. It contributes within a well-designed formula. During pregnancy and breastfeeding it is fine to use. Topically it has no systemic relevance. Tolerance is good: low irritation and low allergy potential, suitable for sensitive skin. As with any plant extract, an individual reaction is possible in already sensitized people, though most do not react.
