Chemical Composition:
The Centaurea Cyanus CO₂ extract is naturally rich in flavonoids and soothing phyto-compounds that make it one of the gentlest botanicals in modern skincare.
Main constituents include:

Polyphenols and phenolic acids – scavenge free radicals and protect skin from oxidative stress.
Coumarins – improve microcirculation and reduce puffiness.
Sesquiterpenes – contribute to anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
Natural fatty alcohols and wax esters – promote moisture retention and barrier repair.
This harmonious synergy of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds gives the extract its remarkable ability to soothe irritation, reduce redness, and bring clarity to dull or fatigued skin.
