Description

Phellinus Linteus/Royal Jelly Extract is a combination of two extracts: Phellinus Linteus, a mushroom known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and Royal Jelly, a well-known skin nutrient. This combination is used in cosmetics for its antioxidant, regenerating, and moisturizing properties, offering synergistic benefits for the skin.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

The combined extract contains bioactive components from both ingredients:

Phellinus Linteus: Polyphenols, polysaccharides, and other antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds.
Royal Jelly: Proteins, lipids, sugars, vitamins (such as B vitamins and vitamin C), minerals (like iron and calcium), and fatty acids.
These components work together to provide antioxidant protection, stimulate cellular regeneration, and enhance skin hydration.

Physical Properties:

The extract may appear as a viscous substance with an amber or pale yellow color, with an aroma that reflects a combination of fungal and honey-like notes. The consistency can vary depending on the formulation and concentration of the extract.

Production Process:

Harvesting:
Phellinus Linteus: The mushroom is harvested and processed to extract its active principles.
Royal Jelly: Collected from the cells of queen bee breeding, preserving the quality of the product.
Extraction and Combination:
Extraction: Both extracts are processed to achieve optimal concentration of bioactive components.
Combination: The extracts of Phellinus Linteus and Royal Jelly are blended to create a synergistic formula.

Applications:

Antioxidant: Protects the skin from free radical damage.
Regenerating: Stimulates cellular regeneration and improves skin elasticity.
Moisturizing: Provides deep and lasting hydration.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Phellinus Linteus/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 extracts are 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.
