DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Primula veris extract is the extract from the above-ground parts and parts of the root of Primula veris, the primrose, oxlip, cowslip.

The extract is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple) as well as skin-caring and skin-soothing.

Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.

Sensitizations against Primula veris extracts are rare, as Primula veris contains only small amounts of primin, the main contact allergen of the cup primula, Primula obonica, which causes the so-called primrose dermatitis.
