Rosa Centifolia (cabbage rose) flower extract is a botanical ingredient derived from rose petals, used in skincare for its mild antioxidant, soothing, and aromatic properties. It is commonly included in toners, mists, and creams primarily as a sensory and conditioning agent rather than a clinically proven active.
