Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract

Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract is a plant extract from broccoli, a member of the cruciferous vegetable family. In skincare and haircare, it’s usually included for its antioxidant content and its role in helping formulas feel more supportive and conditioning. You’ll often see it in products aimed at protecting the look of skin from everyday environmental stress and in hair products that want a smoother, more polished finish.

For skin, this extract is mainly appreciated for helping maintain a fresh, healthy-looking appearance and for complementing other antioxidant ingredients. In haircare, it may help improve the feel of strands and support a softer, more manageable texture. People with normal, dry, or dull-looking skin and hair may especially like formulas featuring it, though it can appear in many product types.

Caveat: Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract is generally used at low levels and is not a miracle ingredient on its own. Its benefits depend a lot on the full formula, and anyone with very sensitive skin should still check the ingredient list and patch test new products.
