Helichrysum Extract is derived from the flowers of the Helichrysum stoechas plant. Abundant in flavonoids and acetephenones, which play a crucial antioxidant role, this extract possesses the capability to scavenge free radicals, inhibit oxidases, and prevent the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Consequently, it is highly recommended for use in the formulation of cosmetic products designed to protect the skin and hair against oxidative stress.
In addition to its antioxidant properties, Helichrysum Extract offers antimicrobial and purifying actions, attributed to its essential oils. Furthermore, the presence of a range of phenol compounds provides photoprotection, making it a valuable inclusion in cosmetics with purifying and antiseptic activities.
Our Helichrysum Extract is a standardized formulation obtained from the flowers of Helichrysum stoechas, meticulously prepared in a 50:50 medium of glycerin and water.
It's crucial to note that this is a cosmetic raw material intended exclusively for external use in cosmetic formulations, following the recommended usage rate. Internal consumption is strictly discouraged, aligning with our commitment to maintaining safety standards for all our materials.
