Cucumber Flower Extract – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Cucumber Flower Extract (Cucumis Sativus Flower Extract) is a delicate, water-soluble botanical active rich in flavonoids, nectar sugars, and polyphenols, designed to deliver cooling comfort, hydration, and gentle clarity. This floral extract significantly improves hydration (observed trends up to 22%), supports redness reduction (up to 20%), and enhances sensitivity comfort (up to 18%). Used typically at 1−5% in essences and serums, its gentle nature and blend of floral nutrients make it an ideal choice for sensitive, dull, dehydrated, and irritated skin seeking a lightweight, soothing, and subtly brightening botanical touch alongside daily antioxidant defense.
