Night jasmine flower extract — a traditional South Asian botanical now used in cosmetics for its antioxidant flavonoids and gentle skin feel.
Nyctanthes arbor-tristis (night jasmine, parijat) flower extract is an ayurvedic botanical entering modern INCI listings as a skin-conditioning agent. Phytochemistry is dominated by iridoid glycosides, flavonoids, and essential oil components. Reported rat LD50 for crude extracts is around 16 g/kg (very low acute toxicity). There is no CIR or SCCS opinion; it is listed in COSMILE Europe under function "skin conditioning." Concerns are standardization and batch variability rather than identified hazards. No GHS classification is known.
