Daisy
Daisy extract is a gentle, natural skincare ingredient derived from the common English daisy flower. It is popular in UK beauty products for its soothing and brightening properties, making it ideal for sensitive or dull skin. Often found in serums, creams and eye treatments, it offers a mild, plant-based alternative to harsher brightening agents.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, daisy extract works by helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone through gentle enzymatic action on melanin. It also delivers soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits, calming redness and supporting the skin barrier. Rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, it provides antioxidant protection against environmental stressors while being suitable for even the most delicate skin.

Daisy extract comes from the flowers of Bellis perennis, the common daisy native to the British Isles and much of Europe. The delicate white-and-yellow flower heads are harvested and processed to obtain a concentrated extract rich in natural active compounds.
