Composition and Chemical Structure:

Flavonoids: These compounds contribute antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress.
Phenolic Acids: Provide anti-inflammatory benefits and support skin health.
Vitamins: Rich in vitamins, especially Vitamin C, which supports collagen production and skin brightening.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a light to dark amber liquid, depending on the concentration and processing method.
Odor: A mild, pleasant floral fragrance characteristic of roses.
Texture: Smooth and slightly viscous, with good spreadability on the skin.

Production Process:

Harvesting: Rosa multiflora flowers are collected at their peak bloom for maximum potency.
Extraction: The flowers are subjected to extraction processes such as solvent extraction or steam distillation to obtain the active compounds.
Purification: The extract is purified to remove any impurities and concentrate the beneficial components.
Formulation: The purified extract is incorporated into skincare formulations.

Applications:

Skincare Products: Used in creams, serums, and lotions for its soothing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.

INCI:


Antioxidant agent. Ingredient that counteracts oxidative stress and prevents cell damage. Free radicals, pathological inflammatory processes, reactive nitrogen species and reactive oxygen species are responsible for the ageing process and many diseases caused by oxidation.

Hair conditioning agent. A significant number of ingredients with specific and targeted purposes may co-exist in hair shampoo formulations: cleansers, conditioners, thickeners, matting agents, sequestering agents, fragrances, preservatives, special additives. However, the indispensable ingredients are the cleansers and conditioners as they are necessary and sufficient for hair cleansing and manageability. The others act as commercial and non-essential auxiliaries such as: appearance, fragrance, colouring, etc. Hair conditioning agents have the task of increasing shine, manageability and volume, and reducing static electricity, especially after treatments such as colouring, ironing, waving, drying and brushing. They are, in practice, dispersants that may contain cationic surfactants, thickeners, emollients, polymers. The typology of hair conditioning agents includes: intensive conditioners, instant conditioners, thickening conditioners, drying conditioners. They can perform their task generally accompanied by other different ingredients.

Humectant. Hygroscopic compound used to minimise water loss in the skin and to prevent it from drying out by facilitating faster and greater absorption of water into the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The epidermis is the most superficial of the three layers that make up human skin (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) and is the layer that maintains hydration in all three layers. In turn, the epidermis is composed of five layers: horny, the most superficial, granular, spinous, shiny, and basal. Humectants have the ability to retain the water they attract from the air in the stratum corneum and have the function of moisturising the skin. They are best used before emollients, which are oil-based.

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.
