What Is Tropaeolum Majus Extract?
Tropaeolum majus extract is derived from a plant commonly known as the garden nasturtium, recognizable for its bright yellow, orange, and red flowers that are edible for humans.
This plant extract, while used for generations as a treatment for everything from stomach issues to kidney problems, also has value as a topical antioxidant. It is a source of multiple beneficial components, among them vitamin C and lutein.
In addition to its antioxidant benefits, Tropaeolum majus extract is also a skin conditioning ingredient. Use levels of Tropaeolum majus extract in cosmetics range from 0.1–0.5%., where it’s typically supplied in a water and glycerin mix.
