Science
Mechanism of Action
Jasminum Sambac Flower Water operates through a multifaceted mechanism on the skin. Its potent antioxidant profile actively neutralizes free radicals and environmental stressors, mitigating oxidative damage and supporting anti-aging pathways by encouraging collagen and elastin synthesis. Concurrently, it exerts anti-inflammatory effects to calm redness and irritation. The ingredient also provides deep moisturization, enhancing skin freshness, smoothness, and radiance, while reinforcing dermal structure for improved firmness and elasticity, and aiding in the restoration of the skin's natural equilibrium. Additionally, it offers antimicrobial benefits against select bacteria and fungi, functioning as both a conditioning and perfuming agent.

Stability
For optimal stability, Jasminum Sambac Flower Water is best formulated within a pH range of 3.0 to 6.0 at 20°C. To preserve its purity and efficacy, sealed storage in a cool, dry environment, shielded from direct sunlight, is recommended, allowing for a shelf life of up to two years.
Safety
Safety Profile
While directly unreviewed by CIR or SCCS as a hydrosol, essential oils and extracts of Jasminum sambac are generally recognized as safe for cosmetic use without systemic toxicity. However, the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) restricts its use as a fragrance, necessitating adherence to specific concentration guidelines across product categories to mitigate potential sensitization. Mild allergic responses are possible in some individuals, attributed to components like benzyl acetate. EWG Skin Deep classifies it as low for irritation but moderate for allergies and immunotoxicity.
