Description

Rosa Pendulina Leaf Cell Extract is derived from the cells of the Rosa pendulina plant, commonly known as the Alpine Rose. This extract is prized in the cosmetic and skincare industries for its regenerative, moisturizing, and anti-aging properties. It is used to enhance skin hydration, support skin repair, and improve overall skin texture and appearance.

Chemical Composition and Structure:
Rosa Pendulina Leaf Cell Extract contains several key bioactive compounds:

Flavonoids: Such as quercetin and kaempferol, which provide strong antioxidant effects and help protect the skin from oxidative stress.
Phenolic Compounds: Including various phenolic acids and tannins, which contribute to the extract’s anti-inflammatory and astringent properties.
Vitamins: Such as Vitamin C, which supports collagen synthesis and skin repair.
Polysaccharides: Present in the cell extract, these help to retain moisture and maintain skin hydration.

These components feature complex molecular structures, with aromatic rings for flavonoids and phenolic acids, and polysaccharide chains for moisturizing effects.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: The extract is typically a liquid, ranging in color from pale yellow to light brown, depending on the concentration and processing method.
Odor: It has a subtle, fresh aroma characteristic of the Rosa pendulina plant.
Solubility: Soluble in water and alcohol; generally insoluble in oil.

Production Process:

Harvesting: The leaves of Rosa pendulina are collected when they are mature to ensure the highest concentration of beneficial compounds.
Cell Culture: The leaves are cultured to produce cells rich in bioactive compounds. This cell culture technique allows for the extraction of compounds without depleting natural resources.
Extraction: The cells are processed to extract the active compounds using methods such as water or alcohol extraction.
Purification: The extract is purified to remove impurities and concentrate the beneficial components, typically through filtration and refining processes.
Formulation: The purified extract is incorporated into various cosmetic and skincare products, including moisturizers, serums, and creams.

Applications:

Cosmetics: Used in products such as facial creams, serums, and masks for its moisturizing, anti-aging, and regenerative properties.
Skincare: Beneficial for improving skin texture, enhancing hydration, and supporting skin repair and regeneration.
Haircare: May be included in hair products to condition and hydrate the scalp.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The production of Rosa Pendulina Leaf Cell Extract is generally sustainable due to the use of cell culture techniques, which reduce the need for large-scale harvesting and preserve natural resources.
Safety: This ingredient is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products when used as directed. Individuals with allergies to Rosaceae family plants should be cautious.

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.

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.
