What Is Dipsacus Sylvestris Extract?
Dipsacus sylvestris extract comes from a plant also known as Dipsacus fullonum that is commonly called wild teasel or Fuller’s teasel. It is native to Eurasia and North Africa, but is now found in Australia, New Zealand, southern Africa, and the Americas.\n\nDipsacus sylvestris extract is not yet a very common ingredient in cosmetics, though its use is growing. This is mainly because of what one study calls its “significant” antioxidant activity. Its high concentration of phenols – especially from its roots, stems, and leaves – means that when applied topically, it can fight pro-aging free radical damage, making it a valuable ingredient in anti-aging products.
