About this ingredient
Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract (INCI: Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract) comes from wild pansy. Hydrolysis breaks down its components to make them more soluble and easier to formulate with. It is used for its soothing action and for helping to support hydration. On efficacy, it is a supporting ingredient. Viola tricolor has a profile rich in mucilage and flavonoids, with data mainly from traditional use and preliminary studies. It adds comfort to a soothing formula without being a front-line active on its own. Applied topically it poses no systemic risk, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The described tolerance is good, with low irritation potential and low allergy risk. It is usually aimed precisely at sensitive or reactive skin, and most people see no reaction.
