The production of Rubus Coreanus Seed Extract involves several steps:

Harvesting and Selection: the seeds of the Rubus coreanus plant are harvested and selected for quality
Cleaning: the harvested seeds are thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt and contaminants
Drying: the cleaned seeds are dried to reduce moisture content
Crushing and Maceration: the dried seeds are crushed and macerated to release the active compounds
Extraction: the macerated seed material is subjected to an extraction process, typically using water or a water-based solvent, to obtain the extract
Filtration and Purification: the extract is filtered to remove solid residues and impurities
Concentration (optional): in some processes, the extract may be concentrated to enhance the potency of the active ingredients
Sterilization: the final product is sterilized to ensure microbiological safety.

INCI


Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment as it has the function of restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants that can be added in the formulation.

Skin protectant. It creates a protective barrier on the skin to defend it from harmful substances, irritants, allergens, pathogens that can cause various inflammatory conditions. These products can also improve the natural skin barrier and in most cases more than one is needed to achieve an effective result.
