Detailed description
Wild pansy, Viola tricolor, is an annual herbaceous plant of the Violaceae family, widespread in Europe, Asia and North America. Used in phytotherapy for centuries, it is recognized for its benefits to the skin and digestive functions.
The aerial parts of wild pansy are rich in flavonoids (rutin, quercetin), phenolic acids (salicylic acid, chlorogenic acid) and mucilage. These compounds give it antioxidant and soothing properties, helping to protect cells against oxidative stress and promote metabolic balance.
Traditionally, it is used to soothe skin discomforts, particularly in cases of sensitive or reactive skin. Its known renal water-elimination properties help eliminate toxins, contributing to harmonious drainage of the body.
Studies have highlighted its immunomodulating activity, which helps reduce the discomfort associated with skin irritations.
