What it is
In the register’s words: “Tilia Cordata Flower Extract is an extract of the flowers of the Linden, Tilia cordata, Tiliaceae.”
- EU register name (INCI)
- TILIA CORDATA FLOWER EXTRACT
- CAS number
- 84929-52-2
- EC number
- 284-536-2
Labels often add a second name in brackets, so a label may say Tilia Cordata (Linden) Flower Extract where the register says TILIA CORDATA FLOWER EXTRACT. Both are the same ingredient.
What the register lists it for
These are the uses the European Commission’s CosIng register lists for Tilia Cordata (Linden) Flower Extract in any cosmetic, hair roles first. They say why a maker might add it, not what it does in one formula, and they aren’t a safety rating.
- Skin conditioning
-
The register’s broad role for ingredients that keep skin in good condition. On a hair label it often sits beside a hair role, or marks a plant oil or extract.
Register definition: “Maintaining the skin in good condition.”
Where it sits on each label
US labels list ingredients from most to least, except that those at 1% or less may follow in any order. A name near the top is a large part of the formula. A label doesn’t mark where the 1% point falls, so further down, the order says little about how much is in it.
