DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Primula vulgaris extract refers to the extract from the flowers of Primula vulgaris, the earth primrose.
The flower extract is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple) as well as skin-caring and skin-soothing.
Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.
Sensitizations against Primula vulgaris extracts are rare, as Primula vulgaris contains only small amounts of primin, the main contact allergen of the cup primrose, Primula obonica, which causes the so-called primrose dermatitis.
