Potentilla Anserina (silverweed) extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in tannins and flavonoids, used in skincare for its antioxidant, astringent, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is typically included to help soothe and protect the skin.

|---|---|---|
| Contact irritation (redness, stinging) | Rare | More likely in sensitive skin or at higher concentrations due to tannin content. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Botanical extracts can occasionally sensitize susceptible individuals. |
| Dryness from astringent action | Very rare | Tannins may have a mild drying/tightening effect in some users. |
