Celery seed extract
Celery seed extract is a natural botanical ingredient valued in skincare for its soothing and antioxidant properties. Derived from the seeds of the celery plant, it is commonly used in UK beauty formulas to help calm irritation and protect the skin from environmental stressors. It is a gentle, plant-based addition to both facial and haircare products.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, celery seed extract functions primarily as an antioxidant and soothing agent. It helps neutralise free radicals while delivering a calming effect on the skin, making it a popular choice in serums, creams and toners designed to support the skin barrier. Its mild nature allows it to be blended into formulations for daily use without causing sensitivity.
