Chrysanthemum Parthenium Flower Extract description
_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 sensitising 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. Note: All Paula’s Choice products that contain _Chrysanthemum parthenium_ flower extract are parthenolide-free.
