Description

Trifolium Pratense Symbiosome Extract is derived from the red clover plant, specifically using advanced extraction techniques to obtain a concentrated form of beneficial compounds known as symbiosomes. These symbiosomes are designed to enhance the delivery and efficacy of active ingredients in cosmetic formulations. The extract is valued for its skin-soothing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products aimed at improving skin health and appearance.

Chemical Composition and Structure:
Trifolium Pratense Symbiosome Extract contains several key bioactive compounds:

Isoflavones: Such as genistein and daidzein, which provide significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Flavonoids: Including quercetin and kaempferol, which contribute to its soothing and protective properties.
Phenolic Acids: Like caffeic acid, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
Vitamins and Minerals: Vitamins such as C and E, which support skin health and enhance antioxidant protection.

The symbiosome technology used in the extract improves the stability and bioavailability of these compounds, allowing them to more effectively target skin cells.

Physical Properties:
Trifolium Pratense Symbiosome Extract is typically a liquid with a color ranging from light yellow to brown, depending on the formulation and concentration. It has a mild, herbal aroma and is soluble in water and other cosmetic solvents. The extract has a smooth, liquid consistency that integrates easily into various cosmetic formulations.

Production Process:

Cultivation: Red clover plants are grown and harvested at the appropriate stage of maturity.
Extraction: The plant material is processed using specialized techniques to isolate and concentrate the beneficial compounds in the form of symbiosomes.
Purification: The extract is purified to ensure the removal of any impurities and to concentrate the active ingredients.
Formulation: The purified extract is incorporated into cosmetic and skincare products, enhancing their efficacy and stability.

Applications:

Cosmetics: Used in products such as serums, creams, and masks for its advanced delivery system that enhances the effectiveness of the active ingredients. It helps soothe the skin, reduce inflammation, and provide antioxidant protection.
Skincare: Included in formulations for improving skin texture, reducing redness, and calming irritation. It is especially beneficial for sensitive or mature skin.
Hair Care: Utilized in treatments for the scalp and hair to improve overall health and appearance, providing soothing and protective benefits.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The production of Trifolium Pratense Symbiosome Extract should adhere to sustainable practices, including responsible cultivation and efficient resource management to minimize environmental impact.
Safety: Generally considered safe for topical use in recommended concentrations. Safety assessments should be conducted to ensure the extract’s efficacy and to avoid potential allergic reactions or adverse effects.

INCI Functions:


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 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.
