Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract
Explained
This ingredient is also known as white water lily extract and used in skincare as an antioxidant and skin conditioning ingredient.
It's rich in polyphenols and flavonoids that help calm irritation and protect skin from environmental damage.
Studies show it can also support wound healing and even out skin tone/radiance over time.
Its dermatological benefits include anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and skin-brightening effects. A cream with 3% extract meaningfully reduced inflammation markers on skin and a separate wound-healing study used 5% concentrations.
At this time, there's no meaningful documentation of it being a common contact allergen in patch-test literature, but (as with any plant extract), individual sensitivity is always possible.
