Concern level
High concern
Aqueous cucumber-derived ingredient typically obtained as a distillate or hydrosol from Cucumis sativus fruit. In formulas it functions mainly as a skin-conditioning, water-phase botanical ingredient with mild soothing and refreshing properties. It is generally used to support a sensorially light, hydrating product profile rather than as a strong active.
