PASSIFLORA CAERULEA FLOWER EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING

Passiflora Caerulea Flower Extract is a botanical ingredient derived from the blue passionflower, recognized for its multifaceted skin benefits. It actively protects the skin from environmental stressors while diminishing inflammation and soothing irritation. This extract also contributes to maintaining optimal skin hydration and supporting cellular repair processes.

Summary

Antioxidant Skin-conditioning Soothing Anti-inflammatory Hydrating

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract exerts its dermatological benefits through a rich composition of flavonoids, phenolic acids, and vitamins C and E, which function as potent antioxidants to neutralize free radicals and mitigate oxidative damage. Anti-inflammatory actions are attributed to flavonoids and alkaloids, reducing redness and swelling associated with various skin conditions. Furthermore, components like phosphorus aid in skin cell maintenance and repair, while copper may contribute to minimizing the appearance of fine lines, supporting overall skin health and resilience.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

Passiflora Caerulea Flower Extract has not undergone specific review by the CIR or SCCS. While Passiflora incarnata, a different passionflower species, holds 'generally recognized as safe' (GRAS) status by the FDA, safety for P. Caerulea in topical applications requires further assessment. Toxicity studies on P. caerulea leaf extracts in animal models indicated an LD50 greater than 5g/kg b. wt. for internal consumption, suggesting low acute toxicity. However, it is noted that some Passiflora species may contain cyanogenic constituents and have exhibited genotoxic potential.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

Passiflora Caerulea Flower Extract shows promising antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties for all skin types, but a lack of specific clinical efficacy data, CIR/SCCS review, and known irritancy/comedogenicity necessitates further research to ascertain its full potential and safety profile in skincare.
