About

A botanical water from strawberry begonia with antioxidant compounds that may help protect skin from environmental stress.

Saxifraga sarmentosa (strawberry begonia) water is a botanical extract used primarily as a skin conditioning agent in cosmetics. The plant contains flavonoids and polyphenols that contribute antioxidant activity. It is not specifically restricted under EU Regulation 1223/2009. The steam distillate form represents a highly diluted extract, making it a low-concern ingredient in cosmetic formulations with insufficient published data to assign specific hazard ratings.
