About

A plant-derived extract used mainly to condition skin and add antioxidant or soothing support.

Persicaria Amphibia Extract is the extract of the whole plant Persicaria amphibia (Polygonaceae). In cosmetics it is mainly used for hydration support, skin-conditioning support, and barrier-support. Botanical extracts are complex mixtures, so the main safety issues are plant allergy and batch variability rather than strong systemic toxicity.
