Centaurea Cyanus (cornflower) Flower Extract is a plant-derived ingredient traditionally used for its soothing, mildly astringent, and anti-inflammatory properties, often included in eye and facial products to calm irritation and reduce puffiness. It also provides minor antioxidant activity from flavonoids and anthocyanins.
