Nelumbo speciosum extract, the extract from the dried or fresh flowers of the Indian lotus flower, is used in cosmetic formulations. The narcotic, sweetish smell of the flowers is due to the ingredient 1,4-dimethoxybenzene. 1,4-dimethoxybenzene is the main component of essential oil. The extract acts as a skin care product.
