About TAGETES MINUTA FLOWER EXTRACT

A marigold-derived fragrance extract with a well-known phototoxicity problem, so it is one of the riskier plant aromatics in cosmetics.

Detailed Analysis

Tagetes minuta flower extract is an aromatic botanical used mainly for scent. Tagetes extracts and oils are widely discussed as phototoxic and sensitizing, which is why they are treated much more cautiously than ordinary conditioning extracts. Even at low use levels, this is not a friendly ingredient for sun-exposed or reactive skin.
