About ZANTHOXYLUM COREANUM BRANCH/LEAF EXTRACT
A prickly-ash extract that may feel tingly on skin, which is both its appeal and its downside.
Detailed Analysis
Zanthoxylum Coreanum Branch/Leaf Extract is the extract of the branches and leaves of Zanthoxylum coreanum, Rutaceae. Prickly-ash species contain pungent alkylamides and aromatic oils that can create a tingling or numbing sensation, but those same compounds raise irritation risk. This is more reactive than a plain conditioning extract, especially in leave-on products for sensitive skin.
