What Is Anacyclus Pyrethrum Root Extract?
Anacyclus pyrethrum root extract comes from a type of flowering plant that is native to parts of the Mediterranean and North Africa. It’s also known as pellitory, Spanish pellitory, or Mount Atlas daisy. Long used in various aspects of Moroccan traditional medicine, it’s now gaining traction for its beneficial properties in both clinical and over-the-counter settings. A growing body of research is finding that the extract from this plant, particularly its roots, has antioxidant benefits for skin, fighting signs of damage, particularly from sun exposure. As with many flowering plants, the oil of this plant has some fragrant compounds that aren’t skin beneficial, making it important to observe which parts of it are used in skin care preparations.
