About this ingredient
Linden flower extract (INCI Tilia Cordata Flower Extract) comes from the flowers of the linden tree. In cosmetics it is used with a soothing, softening direction, common in formulas meant for sensitive and delicate skin. On efficacy this is a supporting extract. It adds a soothing note and improves the comfort of reactive skin, but the clinical evidence base is modest and does not make it a corrective active with proven results. Its role is auxiliary within the formula. Topically it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is high: low irritation and allergy potential, suitable for sensitive skin. No worrying comedogenic profile.
