Description

Rosa Hybrid Flower Cera is a wax derived from hybrid rose flowers. This wax is obtained through an extraction process that preserves the unique characteristics and beneficial properties of the rose flowers. Hybrid rose flower wax is used in cosmetics for its emollient and protective properties.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Lipids: Contains a blend of fatty acid esters and alcohols, giving the wax a solid consistency and good emulsifying and moisturizing capabilities.
Phytoestrogens: Plant-derived molecules that may have estrogen-like effects on the skin, helping to improve elasticity and firmness.
Antioxidants: Compounds present in rose flowers that help protect the skin from free radical damage.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Solid wax, typically light yellow or white in color, depending on the extraction process and purity of the product.
Odor: May have a delicate floral aroma characteristic of rose flowers.
Texture: Solid at room temperature but can be melted at higher temperatures for incorporation into formulations.

Production Process:

Cultivation and Selection: Hybrid roses are cultivated and selected for their high quality.
Flower Harvesting: Flowers are harvested and handled carefully to preserve their properties.
Extraction: The flowers undergo an extraction process to obtain the wax.
Purification: The extracted wax is purified to remove impurities and achieve a high-quality product.
Formulation: The wax is used in cosmetic products such as creams, balms, and ointments for its emollient and protective properties.
Packaging: The wax is packaged to maintain its quality and properties.
Applications:

Moisturizers and Balms: Provides hydration and creates a protective barrier on the skin.
Colored Cosmetics: Used for its ability to stabilize and add texture to cosmetic products.
Lip Treatments: Adds emollience and protection to lip balms and glosses.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

INCI:


Skin conditioning agent - Emollient. Emollients have the characteristic of enhancing the skin barrier through a source of exogenous lipids that adhere to the skin, improving barrier properties by filling gaps in intercorneocyte clusters to improve hydration while protecting against inflammation. In practice, they have the ability to create a barrier that prevents transepidermal water loss. Emollients are described as degreasing or refreshing additives that improve the lipid content of the upper layers of the skin by preventing degreasing and drying of the skin. The problem with emollients is that many have a strong lipophilic character and are identified as occlusive ingredients; they are oily and fatty materials that remain on the skin surface and reduce transepidermal water loss. In cosmetics, emollients and moisturisers are often considered synonymous with humectants and occlusives.
