Gossypium Herbaceum Seed Extract is derived from seeds of Levant cotton, a botanical that conjures visions of natural materials and benefits from folklore and actual performance data. It combines the feeling of softness, freshness, and comfort.
Beyond these pleasant notions, Gossypium Herbaceum Seed Extract has an excellent functional moisturizing capability, proven by well-known scientific test methods. It contains simple and oligomeric sugars, B-group vitamins, and essential minerals.
Comparative studies showed that using 5% Cotton seed extra improves moisturization in a gel vehicle compared to the gel vehicle alone. Think of it as an all-day moisturization from a botanical.
In addition, Gossypium Herbaceum Seed Extract exhibits soothing, anti-inflammatory, and sebum-regulating properties. Thanks to its nourishing, conditioning, and hair-strengthening effects, it is used in skin and hair applications. It is suitable for sensitive skin, baby care products, and deodorants.Synonyms
