Lettuce, ext. Usage And Synthesis
Uses
lettuce extract (Lactuca virosa) is said to have emollient properties in its fresh state, but after processing for use in cosmetics, this property is unlikely to be retained. Herbologists attribute a sedative, narcotic property to lettuce extract. It is obtained from wild lettuce (not the garden and salad variety), a plant growing to a maximum height of 6 feet. The whole plant is rich in milky juice that flows freely from any cut made to it.
