Information
Viola tricolor extract, also known as wild pansy extract, is a botanical ingredient derived from the small flowering plant Viola tricolor, commonly referred to as heartsease or Johnny Jump-up. This extract is prized in skincare for its soothing, moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a popular choice for products aimed at sensitive, dry, or irritated skin.
Where does it come from?
Viola tricolor is a plant native to Europe and parts of Asia, and it belongs to the Violaceae family. The extract is obtained from the aerial parts of the plant, including the flowers, leaves, and stems. These parts are rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, and mucilages, which contribute to their beneficial effects on the skin.
Moisturizing: The extract contains mucilages, which are hydrating substances that help retain moisture in the skin, making it an excellent ingredient for dry and dehydrated skin.
Soothing and Calming: Its anti-inflammatory properties help to soothe irritated or sensitive skin, reducing redness and discomfort.
Antioxidant Protection: Rich in flavonoids, Viola tricolor extract provides antioxidant protection, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from environmental stressors that can cause premature aging.
Skin Purification: The extract has mild astringent properties, which can help cleanse and tone the skin, reducing the appearance of pores and promoting a clearer complexion.
Repair Support: Traditionally, Viola tricolor has been used to support the repair of minor skin irritations and wounds, thanks to its soothing and reparative properties.
