About ZANTHOXYLUM ZANTHOXYLOIDES BARK EXTRACT
A peppery botanical extract used to condition skin and add a mild sensory zing. It can feel soothing in small amounts, but sensitive skin may read it as stingy.
Detailed Analysis
This bark extract from Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides likely contains aromatic alkylamides and related spicy constituents similar to other Zanthoxylum species. In cosmetics it is used for skin conditioning, but those same numbing or tingling compounds can irritate reactive skin, so it scores below a typical bland botanical.
