_Apium graveolens_ (celery) seed extract is rich in antioxidants that have the potential to strengthen skin’s defense against environmental stressors. These compounds also help neutralize oxidative agents that could otherwise contribute to visible signs of aging.

While the majority of research focuses on the internal medicinal benefits of celery extracts, studies indicate they can also have a positive impact on skin via topical application.

Cosmetic manufacturers of this ingredient claim it delivers relief for symptoms associated with skin sensitivity. This aligns with scientific literature that points to celery seed extract’s soothing action in other applications.

_Apium graveolens_ (celery) seed extract is typically supplied as a blend with other ingredients like butylene glycol or glycerin. In such instances, it appears as a yellow/amber/brown liquid and is commonly recommended at a 3% concentration.

Note: When celery seeds are processed into their essential oil form, there is a potential risk of skin irritation due to the volatile fragrance and tannic components. This should be identified by a different INCI name, _Apium graveolens_ (celery) seed oil, on the ingredient list.
