What It Does
Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract is derived from fresh cucumber fruit and contains natural compounds including caffeic acid, vitamin C, and silica that provide soothing and cooling properties to cosmetic formulations. This extract is particularly valued for its high water content and natural enzymes that help calm irritated skin and provide a refreshing sensation. Formulators choose cucumber extract for its gentle nature and ability to deliver hydration while offering mild astringent properties, making it especially popular in eye care products and after-sun formulations.
