Iris Florentina Extract

_Iris florentina_ extract, also known as orris root, is taken from a type of iris plant originally native to the Middle East and North Africa. While this plant is known for its sweet fragrance, some components of it (like the root) have found their place in skincare formulations. As with nearly all ingredients derived from plants, _Iris florentina_ extract has antioxidant benefits due to its composition of phytochemicals. This is true of nearly every part of this type of iris. _Iris florentina_ extract is a more general term, however, so it’s important to note when investigating ingredient labels which part of the plan specifically is being used. _Iris florentina_ oil, for instance, contains volatile compounds that can cause skin irritation, especially if applied in high concentrations and without buffering ingredients. Extracts taken from the plant rhizomes, however, show promise in fighting the development of fine lines and wrinkles, and even have the potential to interrupt factors that lead to hyperpigmentation. It’s another reminder that becoming your own skincare detective can make a world of difference when selecting formulas that are best for you! Use levels of _iris florentina_ extract in cosmetics range from 5–10%. Although that sounds like a lot, keep in mind that this extract is typically supplied in a water-and glycerin blend, which tempers its potency.
