Cucumber Extract

What Is Cucumber Extract?

Cucumber Extract is derived from the fresh fruit of Cucumis sativus L., a climbing vine in the Cucurbitaceae family widely cultivated for its edible fruit. This botanical extract is rich in bioactive compounds, including high levels of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), caffeic acid, cucurbitacins, flavonoids, and essential minerals such as silica. It also contains natural amino acids and mild alpha-hydroxy acids like lactic acid, contributing to its multifunctional profile in skincare and wellness applications.

Cucurbitacins help reduce redness and swelling, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin formulations.
