DICENTRA FORMOSA FLOWER EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / FRAGRANCE

Derived from the Dicentra formosa flower, this extract is traditionally recognized for anti-inflammatory properties, historically used for skin sores, bruises, and swelling. Modern cosmetic applications are based on its traditional use and findings from related species.

Anti-inflammatory Soothing

Science

Traditional use suggests anti-inflammatory action, potentially via inhibition of nitric oxide and pro-inflammatory cytokines, as indicated by research on a related species, Dicentra spectabilis. It may also provide a soothing effect due to the presence of analgesic alkaloids.
