What it is
Jonquil extract is derived from the Narcissus jonquilla flower, and is primarily used for its fragrance. While it may contain some antioxidant properties, Jonquil is more often found in perfumes and scented skincare rather than utilised for direct skin benefits.
What Jonquil Extract is Used For in Skincare
Fragrance – Adds a floral scent to products but can be sensitising.
Potential Irritant – Contains natural compounds that may trigger skin reactions, particularly in sensitive individuals.
Limited Skincare Benefits – Unlike many other botanical extracts, Jonquil is not widely recognised for hydration or soothing properties.
If you have sensitive or reactive skin, it is best to patch test or avoid products with Jonquil.
