Fragaria Chiloensis (Strawberry) Fruit Extract is derived from Chilean strawberry fruit and is used in skincare for its antioxidant content, including vitamin C, ellagic acid, and polyphenols, which help protect skin from oxidative stress. It also provides mild astringent and conditioning effects in topical formulations.

|---|---|---|
| Contact irritation (redness, stinging) | Uncommon | More likely on sensitive or compromised skin due to natural acids. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Strawberry is a known food allergen; cross-reactivity possible in sensitized individuals. |
| Photosensitivity | Very rare | Limited evidence; some plant extracts may marginally increase sensitivity. |
