Description
Daisy extract (Bellis Perennis) is a natural extract obtained from organically grown flowers of this plant using biotechnological processes. This natural ingredient comes from the Asteraceae family and has a history of use in traditional medicine spanning thousands of years. Organisations such as ECOCERT and COSMOS certify the extract as an organic product that meets the requirement for at least 95 % natural origin, guaranteeing its authenticity and purity, with no genetically modified ingredients.

Function
Daisy extract acts on the skin through several mechanisms. Primarily, it inhibits melanogenesis – the process of melanin production – helping to reduce hyperpigmentation and age spots. It also acts as an antioxidant and a hydrating ingredient, moisturising the skin and restoring its hydrolipid barrier. Studies have shown that daisy extract at a concentration of 2-5 % reduces the visibility of pigmentation spots by 30-40 % after 8-12 weeks of application and improves skin elasticity by stimulating the production of type I and III collagen.

Recommendations
Daisy extract is ideal for skin prone to hyperpigmentation and photoageing, and for mature skin over 40. Its soothing, gentle action also makes it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin. It is particularly recommended for women with melasma or age spots caused by intense sun exposure. It is not contraindicated for combination or oily skin either; instead, it helps to even out skin tone.

References and studies
Clinical experience and molecular studies confirm its effectiveness: “Natural daisy extract containing flavonoids at a concentration of 3 % reduced hyperpigmentation by 35 % after 12 weeks of continuous application" (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021). Another analysis from 2022 reports that the extract regulates the activity of tyrosinase – an enzyme essential to melanogenesis – without adverse side effects, unlike chemical bleaching agents.
