Jasminum Sambac (Jasmine) Flower Extract is a plant-derived ingredient used in skincare primarily for its aromatic properties and as a source of antioxidant and soothing phytochemicals. It is most often included as a fragrance component or supportive botanical rather than a primary functional active.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Allergic contact dermatitis | Uncommon | Jasmine and its fragrance constituents are recognized contact allergens; reactions more likely in fragrance-sensitive individuals. |
Skin irritation or redness | Uncommon | May occur with the natural volatile and fragrance compounds, particularly on sensitive or compromised skin. |
Photosensitivity | Rare | Some botanical/fragrance components can theoretically increase sun sensitivity, though strongly documented cases are limited. |
Respiratory irritation from scent | Rare | Strong aroma may trigger discomfort or headache in scent-sensitive users. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
