Traditionally used for its hydrating and soothing properties, this extract contains a range of bioactive compounds that offer protective, balancing, and anti-inflammatory benefits for the skin. Alisma Orientale Extract is suitable for cosmetic formulations aimed at enhancing hydration, soothing irritations, and strengthening the skin barrier.

Chemical Composition and Structure

This extract contains triterpenes, fatty acids, polysaccharides, and flavonoids. These bioactive components contribute to its antioxidant, hydrating, and anti-inflammatory properties. Triterpenes and flavonoids help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress, while polysaccharides and fatty acids improve the skin’s moisture retention and elasticity.

The roots are harvested, dried, and macerated to release bioactive compounds, which are then purified and concentrated for cosmetic use, preserving the extract’s hydrating and soothing properties.

Applications

• Medical: While primarily used in cosmetics, Alisma Orientale Extract is studied for its anti-inflammatory and balancing properties, with potential applications in treatments for irritated and sensitive skin.
