About this ingredient
Tilia Platyphyllos Flower Extract (INCI: Tilia Platyphyllos Flower Extract) is an extract from the flowers of the large-leaved linden. In cosmetics it is used for its soothing effect: it helps soften the skin and ease the feeling of discomfort. It appears in creams, toners and formulas for sensitive skin. On efficacy it is a supporting soothing component. It contributes to a more comfortable feel and a calmer look, though the evidence for a strong anti-inflammatory effect is modest. It does its sensory and supporting job in gentle formulas. For topical use it has no systemic relevance and can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good: low irritation potential and low allergy risk, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin. Since it is a botanical extract, very reactive skin should always patch test the finished product on a small area before wider use.
