Description
Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water is a floral water derived from the vibrant blue blossoms of the Centaurea cyanus plant, widely known as cornflower. Traditionally, these flowers are used in European herbal medicine to help soothe mild eye irritations and inflammation. It is rich in polysaccharides, including galacturonic acid, arabinose, glucose, rhamnose, and galactose, which give the extract significant anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. This makes it an ideal ingredient for sensitive skin and eye area formulations, offering relief and calm.
