Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract
Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract is a gentle, plant-derived ingredient obtained from the wild pansy flower. Commonly used in UK skincare and haircare, it helps soothe and condition the skin while supporting a healthy-looking complexion. It is valued for being naturally derived and suitable for sensitive formulations.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract is used for its soothing and moisturising properties. The hydrolysis process breaks down the plant compounds into smaller molecules that are more readily absorbed by the skin, allowing the extract to help maintain hydration and support the skin’s natural barrier. It is frequently found in creams, serums, masks and hair conditioners where a mild, botanical conditioning effect is desired.
