Description

Hydrolyzed Raspberry Fruit is an extract derived from raspberry fruit (Rubus idaeus) through a hydrolysis process, which breaks down the fruit's components into smaller molecules. This hydrolysate is used in cosmetics for its moisturizing, antioxidant, and soothing properties.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Key Components:
Polyphenols: Natural antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radical damage.
Vitamins: Especially vitamin C, known for its antioxidant properties and support for collagen synthesis.
Organic Acids: Compounds that help maintain the skin's pH and hydration.
Structure: The hydrolysate contains fragments of proteins, polyphenols, and other fruit components that have been broken down into smaller molecules through the hydrolysis process.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Clear or slightly opalescent solution, depending on the concentration.
Odor: Light and fruity, characteristic of raspberries.
Texture: Lightweight and easily absorbed by the skin.

Production Process:

Extraction: Raspberries are first extracted to obtain a fruit concentrate.
Hydrolysis: The concentrate is subjected to enzymatic or acidic hydrolysis, breaking down complex molecules into smaller ones.
Filtration: The hydrolysate is filtered to remove any solid particles and ensure the purity of the final product.

Applications:

Moisturizing: Enhances skin hydration, improving elasticity and softness.
Antioxidant: Protects the skin from environmental damage and free radicals, helping to prevent premature aging.
Soothing: Helps calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation.

Safety and Environmental Considerations:

Safety: Hydrolyzed raspberry fruit is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic and personal care products. However, individuals with raspberry allergies should exercise caution.
Environmental Impact: Using raspberry fruit for hydrolysate contributes to resource valorization and waste reduction.

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.
