Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions primarily as an astringent, helping to visibly tone and tighten the skin, complemented by antiseptic properties that promote a clearer surface. Extracts from various Eucalyptus species, including components expected in leaf water, have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities. Notably, topical application of eucalyptus leaf extract may enhance dry skin conditions by increasing ceramide content, which is vital for maintaining a robust skin barrier and optimal moisture retention. Furthermore, studies on the closely related *Eucalyptus globulus* suggest potential anti-aging effects through the reduction of senescence markers and upregulation of collagen type 1, alongside depigmenting capabilities via inhibition of tyrosinase and melanin synthesis.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically assessed EUCALYPTUS CINEREA LEAF WATER. However, related *Eucalyptus globulus*-derived ingredients, including its leaf water, have been deemed safe for cosmetic use when formulated to be non-sensitizing. The United States Food and Drug Authority (FDA) regards eucalyptus essential oil as safe. While INCIDecoder indicates low irritancy, observed minor skin irritation upon direct handling of *Eucalyptus cinerea* leaves underscores the critical importance of careful product formulation to prevent potential sensitization.
