What is it?
Jonquil extract comes from the Narcissus jonquilla flower, and is primarily used for its fragrance. While it may contain some antioxidant properties, it is more often found in perfumes and scented skincare rather than for direct skin benefits.
What is Jonquil Extract 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 other botanical extracts, it 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 this extract in it.
