Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract

Science & Benefits

Nymphaea Alba, or White Water Lily, is a cooling botanical extract frequently used in 'recovery' skincare. It contains an active complex of proline and vitamin C which specifically targets the reduction of skin temperature and the inhibition of stress-induced inflammation. This 'cooling' effect is particularly beneficial for active, painful acne lesions. As a humectant, it is exceptionally effective at binding moisture to the skin without any occlusive or greasy film. It is non-comedogenic and serves as a soothing agent that aids in the regeneration of the skin barrier, making it an ideal ingredient for post-exfoliation or post-procedure care where the skin requires intensive but gentle hydration.
