About

A botanical water from saxifrage with bergenin and flavonoids used in Asian skincare for its brightening and soothing effects.

Saxifraga stolonifera (strawberry saxifrage or creeping saxifrage) water is a steam distillate used in traditional Chinese and Japanese skincare. The plant contains bergenin, a compound with documented anti-inflammatory and tyrosinase-inhibiting activity that supports skin-brightening claims. It is not specifically restricted under EU Regulation 1223/2009. The steam-distilled water form represents a highly diluted preparation suitable for cosmetic use with minimal safety concerns based on available toxicological information and traditional use data.
