Description

Royal Jelly Extract is a nutrient-rich extract derived from the gel produced by queen bees. This extract is known for its nourishing, regenerating, and hydrating properties. It is commonly used in cosmetic products for its ability to improve skin elasticity, stimulate cellular regeneration, and provide intense hydration.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Royal Jelly Extract contains a variety of bioactive components, including proteins, lipids, sugars, vitamins (such as B vitamins and vitamin C), minerals (like iron and calcium), and fatty acids. These components work together to offer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties.

Physical Properties:

It appears as a viscous, pale yellow substance with a characteristic aroma reminiscent of honey. The consistency can vary depending on the formulation and concentration of the extract.

Production Process:

Harvesting:
Royal Jelly Collection: Royal jelly is collected from the cells of queen bee breeding. This process must be done carefully to preserve the quality of the product.
Extraction and Purification:
Extraction: The collected royal jelly is processed to extract the active components while maintaining its nutritional properties.
Purification: The extract is purified to remove any impurities and obtain a concentrated, high-quality final product.

Applications:

Nourishing: Provides the skin with essential nutrients, improving overall skin health and appearance.
Regenerating: Stimulates cellular regeneration and improves skin elasticity.
Moisturizing: Offers deep and long-lasting hydration.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Royal Jelly Extract is generally regarded as safe for topical use. However, like all extracts, it should be used in accordance with established guidelines to avoid potential allergic reactions or skin irritations. People with allergies or very sensitive skin should be cautious. It is important to ensure that the extract is sustainably sourced and free from harmful chemicals.

INCI Functions:


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.
