Concern level
High concern
Molasses extract is a sugarcane-derived plant extract obtained from the syrupy residue left after sugar processing. In cosmetics it is used primarily as a skin-conditioning and humectant ingredient, helping attract and retain moisture. It is generally included for feel, hydration support, and formulation marketing around botanical conditioning rather than as a true exfoliating active.
