What it is
Cimicifuga Dahurica Root Extract is derived from the rhizome and roots of Cimicifuga dahurica, a plant traditionally cultivated in East Asia. In skincare it is included for its skin-conditioning and antioxidant-supporting properties, contributing to the botanical character of a formula. It typically appears at low concentrations as a supporting plant extract rather than a primary active.
Safety & warnings
As a botanical extract it is generally well tolerated at the low levels used in cosmetics. As with any plant extract, individuals with sensitivities to related botanicals may experience irritation, and patch testing is reasonable for very sensitive skin.
Origin & sourcing
