Achillea Asiatica Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

Achillea asiatica flower, leaf and stem extract is derived from the yarrow plant native to Asia. The extract contains a mixture of plant compounds including flavonoids and volatile oils, which are obtained through solvent extraction of the plant material.

In skincare formulations, this ingredient functions primarily as a humectant and skin conditioner, helping to draw moisture into the skin and support the skin's natural hydration capacity. It is also used in haircare products for similar conditioning purposes.

As a humectant, Achillea asiatica extract draws water from the environment and deeper skin layers into the outer layers, supporting overall skin hydration. The plant's natural compounds may also help condition the skin surface by creating a light protective layer.

The extract's traditional use in skincare suggests it may have mild soothing properties, though the specific mechanisms are not fully characterised in modern scientific literature.

This ingredient is typically used as part of a broader formulation rather than in isolation. It works best when combined with other hydrating or conditioning agents. Apply products containing this extract to clean skin, morning or evening, as part of your regular skincare routine.
