Eclipta prostrata extract comes from the false daisy (Eclipta alba). In skincare it's used for soothing and antioxidant support on delicate or reactive complexions, though cosmetic evidence remains limited.
Not typically evaluated for comedogenicity — no standardized rating available.
Our take
Is Eclipta Prostrata Extract a Good Ingredient?
Rated Fair due to limited, mostly preliminary data supporting soothing and antioxidant effects, which may vary with extract quality and concentration. There’s a small risk of irritation or allergy, especially for those reactive to botanicals.
What it does
Skin Benefits
May help quiet visible irritation and defend against dulling free-radical stress; evidence is limited, so effects can be modest.
Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Included in gentle serums, toners, and moisturizers for easily reactive skin or post-procedure routines.
Before you use it
Safety
Generally considered tolerable, but plant extracts can trigger sensitivity or allergic reactions; a patch test is prudent for reactive skin. No widely recognized cosmetic regulatory restrictions at typical use levels.
