Description

Paeonia Lactiflora Phytoplacenta Extract is derived from the plant Paeonia Lactiflora and is known for its rejuvenating and restorative properties. This extract is often used in advanced skincare formulations for its potential to improve skin texture, provide anti-aging benefits, and enhance skin hydration.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Flavonoids: Offer antioxidant protection and help mitigate oxidative stress.
Phenolic Compounds: Include substances like caffeic acid and ferulic acid, which contribute to anti-inflammatory effects.
Triterpenes: Support skin conditioning and moisture retention.
Peptides: May play a role in promoting skin regeneration and improving elasticity.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Usually a concentrated liquid with a color ranging from light to dark brown, depending on the extraction method.
Odor: A mild, natural aroma, which can vary based on the specific extraction process.
Texture: Generally a thick, viscous liquid that blends well into cosmetic formulations.

Production Process:

The production of Paeonia Lactiflora Phytoplacenta Extract involves:

Harvesting: Collection of plant material from the Paeonia Lactiflora plant.
Extraction: The plant material undergoes a specialized extraction process to obtain the phytoplacenta extract, often using advanced techniques to preserve the bioactive compounds.
Purification: The extract is purified to remove impurities and ensure its effectiveness.
Formulation: The purified extract is incorporated into cosmetic and skincare products.

Applications:

Cosmetics: Used in anti-aging creams, serums, and masks for its restorative and rejuvenating properties.
Skincare: Aims to improve skin texture, elasticity, and hydration.

People with allergies or very sensitive skin should exercise caution. It is important to ensure that the extract is sustainably sourced and free from harmful chemicals.

INCI Functions:


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.

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.

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.
