About this ingredient
Jasminum Sambac (Jasmine) Flower Extract is the extract of sambac jasmine flower. In cosmetics it is used as a soothing and moisturizing botanical, and it also adds a scent note characteristic of jasmine. Efficacy deserves a sober note. It has compounds of theoretical interest, but clinical evidence on skin is modest. It behaves as a supporting ingredient: it adds comfort and sensory character, without being the active that defines the formula's results. In topical use it has no systemic relevance, so it can be applied during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Irritation and allergy potential are low. Still, as an aromatic flower extract it contains compounds that can trigger a reaction in people sensitized to fragrance. Most people feel no discomfort, but anyone with very reactive skin should weigh it.
