About IMPATIENS CAPENSIS EXTRACT

A jewelweed extract traditionally used to calm irritated skin, with a decent but not perfect safety profile.

Detailed Analysis

Impatiens capensis has a long folk reputation for use on itchy or reactive skin, which makes it more interesting than the average obscure botanical. Even so, formal cosmetic safety data are not especially deep, and whole-plant extracts can vary a lot in composition. Overall it looks fairly acceptable, with the usual plant-allergy caveat.
