Croda Beauty's Phytessence Osmanthus harnesses the power of its namesake flower to provide antioxidant and soothing properties for the skin, particularly in countering the impacts of heat, as well as the redness and irritation experienced after sunburns.
The technology is therefore ideal for supporting antioxidant, calming, soothing and anti-redness claims in after sun, body care, face and neck skin care, and sun protection products.
Phytessence Osmanthus is produced via Croda's ultrasound extraction system, Eco-sound, which perforates plant cell membranes at room temperature to release key metabolites into an eco-friendly solvent. The low-CO2 process is particularly ideal for heat-sensitive material extractions.
The technology is 99.4% natural (per ISO 16128), expected to be readily biodegradable (per Croda), halal, COSMOS-certified and vegan.
