Bellis Perennis (Daisy) Flower Extract is a botanical extract used in skincare for its mild skin-brightening and tone-evening properties, attributed to polyphenols and saponins that may modestly inhibit melanin production. It is also valued as a skin-conditioning and antioxidant agent in cosmetic formulations.
