Phoenix Dactylifera (date palm) Extract is derived from date fruit or seeds and is used in cosmetics for its antioxidant, moisturizing, and skin-conditioning properties, owing to its content of polyphenols, flavonoids, sugars, and vitamins. It is generally considered well tolerated in topical formulations.
