Croda unveils Phytessence™ Osmanthus, the floral ingredient dedicated to geo-skincare.
This new extract spotlights the iconic Osmanthus flower. With this ingredient, the emphasis has been placed on UV protection and addressing the oxidative stress associated with increasing levels of pollutants and temperatures resulting from extreme weather.
Protects Skin from the Harmful Effects of Heat
Crodarom chose the Osmanthus flower for this new product because it is recognized in Asia as a protective flower for everyday life. Native to East Asia, the Osmanthus is an emblematic flower there, admired and rooted in many cultures and traditions, where it is a symbol of happiness and prosperity. Osmanthus has also seduced Western cultures, particularly in perfumery, for its floral and fruity notes.
Quantified in verbacoside,
Phytessence™ Osmanthus helps to protect the skin from the harmful effects of heat by regulating the production of HSP
70 and reducing the production of free radicals. It also
naturally soothes the skin from sunburn by reducing redness and the production of PGE
2.
These proven properties make it an ideal choice for protecting the skin in hot/warm climates where the sun's rays and heat, exacerbated by climate change, can have harmful effects.

They couldn't imagine launching an ingredient that helps combat the effects of climate change on the skin without taking environmental concerns into account in its design.
That's why this new ingredient is manufactured using Crodarom's green and eco-designed process, Eco-sound™ technology. This environmentally friendly technology uses ultrasound to extract the most valuable components of the flowers with low energy consumption (3 kWh/100 L of extract) and without denaturing the molecules with heat or chemicals.
