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 properties to the skin.
Moisturizing: The extract contains mucilages, which are hydrating substances that can hold moisture in the skin, making it an excellent ingredient for sensitive and dehydrated skin.
Soothing: Its soothing properties can calm irritated or sensitive skin, minimizing redness and discomfort.
Antioxidant Protection: Rich in flavonoids, Viola tricolor extract provides antioxidant protection, which can neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from environmental factors that can cause premature damage.
Skin Purification: The extract has mild astringent properties, which can cleanse and tone the skin, minimizing the appearance of pores and promoting a clearer complexion.
Cell Renewal: Traditionally, Viola tricolor has been used to promote cell renewal of minor skin irritations, thanks to its soothing and rejuvenating properties.
