6/10

Concern level

Moderate concern

A botanical extract derived from lavender flowers. In cosmetics it is commonly used for fragrance, masking, refreshing, and tonic/skin-conditioning purposes rather than as a primary treatment active. Botanical constituents may include sensitizing fragrance components, so it is best approached as a fragrant extract with potential allergen risk.
