Description

Rosa Ambassador/Rosa Peace Phytoplacenta Extract is derived from the phytoplacenta of Rosa Ambassador or Rosa Peace, both renowned rose varieties. The phytoplacenta is a plant tissue resembling the placenta, which develops in roses during the flowering phase. This extract is celebrated for its potential regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties and is predominantly used in cosmetics and skincare formulations.

Chemical Composition and Structure:
The extract contains a diverse array of bioactive compounds, including:

Peptides: These play crucial roles in cellular regeneration and collagen synthesis, potentially improving skin elasticity and firmness.
Polyphenols: Including flavonoids (such as quercetin and kaempferol) and phenolic acids (such as caffeic acid and ferulic acid) that provide antioxidant protection and shield the skin from free radical damage.
Triterpenoids: Such as ursolic acid and oleanolic acid, known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Saponins: Compounds with anti-inflammatory properties that may enhance skin elasticity.
Carotenoids: Including beta-carotene and lycopene, which have antioxidant properties and support skin health.
Vitamins and Minerals: Essential for skin nutrition and wellness, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc.

These compounds generally feature aromatic ring structures for polyphenols and cyclic carbon chains for triterpenoids and saponins.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: The extract is typically a pale pink or light brown liquid, depending on concentration and extraction method, and can also be found in powdered form.
Odor: Exhibits a delicate floral aroma characteristic of roses.
Solubility: Soluble in water and alcohol-based solvents, but generally insoluble in oils.

Production Process:

Harvesting Phytoplacenta: The flowers of Rosa Ambassador or Rosa Peace are collected during the developmental phase when the phytoplacenta is present.
Extraction: The phytoplacenta tissue is processed to extract bioactive compounds. Extraction methods may include maceration in solvents like water or ethanol, or advanced techniques such as ultrasonic extraction or supercritical fluid extraction.
Purification: The extracted material is purified to remove impurities and concentrate active ingredients, typically involving filtration and concentration processes.
Formulation: The purified extract is incorporated into various cosmetic formulations or skin treatments, such as creams, serums, and masks.

Applications:

Cosmetics: Used in facial products such as anti-aging serums, regenerative creams, and moisturizing masks for its skin-enhancing properties.
Skincare: Its antioxidant and regenerative properties make it ideal for treatments aimed at reducing signs of aging and improving skin appearance.
Dermatological Treatments: May be utilized in formulations designed to treat and soothe irritated or inflamed skin due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The use of roses for phytoplacenta extraction can be considered environmentally friendly if the roses are cultivated responsibly and the extraction process does not harm the surrounding environment.
Safety: Rosa Ambassador/Rosa Peace Phytoplacenta Extract is generally safe for topical use. However, as with any cosmetic ingredient, it is advisable to conduct a patch test before widespread application to prevent potential allergic reactions.

INCI:


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.

Antimicrobial agent. This ingredient is able to suppress or inhibit the growth and replication of a broad spectrum of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses by making the stratum corneum temporarily bactericidal and fungicidal.

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.
