What Is Chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Flower Extract?
Chrysanthemum parthenium flower extract (commonly advertised as feverfew extract) is a source of beneficial antioxidants and can offer significant soothing properties for skin. However, if a specific constituent of the plant known as parthenolide (technically, sesquiterpene lactone) is present, it can have a sensitizing effect on skin.
If the parthenolide is removed, this ingredient is not a problem for skin and can in fact help to diminish the visible signs of irritation, including redness. To ensure you’re only getting parthenolide-free Chrysanthemum parthenium flower extract in your skin care products, it’s best to contact the company to confirm that this compound has been excluded from the extract.
