Botanical extracts can provide a range of activities—antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, conditioning, or fragrance—depending on the source plant, solvent (water, alcohol, oil) and concentration. Suppliers or product technical sheets may report standardised assays (for example total polyphenols or antioxidant capacity) that clarify likely benefits; if allergenicity is a concern, review the full ingredient list for known fragrance allergens or common sensitising components.
