It is particularly beneficial for sensitive and couperose skin, offering a calming effect while supporting cellular health against environmental aggressors.

Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Soothing Calming Promotes Microcirculation Detoxifying Moisturizing Anti-aging Potential Skin-Whitening

Science

This active floral water is rich in bioactive compounds including flavonoids (such as rutin, hyperoside, vitexin), proanthocyanidins, phenolic acids, and vitamin C. These constituents improve cutaneous microcirculation by penetrating blood vessel walls, thereby accelerating skin's blood flow. Functioning as a potent antioxidant, it neutralizes free radicals, mitigating oxidative stress and contributing to anti-aging effects. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory and anti-irritating attributes assist in reducing redness and swelling. Chlorogenic acids within the extract can chelate metallic ions, supporting cellular detoxification and moderating inflammatory responses. The ingredient also contributes to enhanced skin elasticity and moisturization, with preliminary indications of tyrosinase inhibition, suggesting potential skin brightening.

No specific Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) reports were identified for CRATAEGUS OXYACANTHA FLOWER WATER. While the FDA lists a hawthorn homeopathic product as unapproved, this does not constitute a safety assessment for its use in cosmetics. General hawthorn extracts are considered 'possibly safe' for oral use within specific dosages, but comprehensive dermal safety data for this particular flower water remains insufficient. Despite this, Crataegus-containing products are broadly associated with mild or no adverse reactions.
