About TAGETES PATULA FLOWER/LEAF/STEM EXTRACT

A marigold-family extract that may bring some soothing or antioxidant compounds, but Tagetes species are not especially low-drama botanicals. Fragrance sensitivity and photoreactivity are the main reasons to be careful.

Detailed Analysis

Tagetes Patula Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract is derived from French marigold, an aromatic Asteraceae plant. Tagetes species can contain terpene-rich volatile components and other phytochemicals that may irritate or sensitise reactive skin, especially in higher-strength fragrant extracts. It may still offer conditioning value, but it is not one of the safer botanical bets.
