Phoenix dactylifera (date palm) extract is derived from date fruit or seed and is used in skincare as an antioxidant and emollient, valued for its content of polyphenols, vitamins, and sugars that support hydration and may help reduce signs of oxidative stress. It is generally considered well tolerated in cosmetic formulations.
