SAPONARIA OFFICINALIS EXTRACT
INCI: Saponaria officinalis leaf extract / Saponaria officinalis root extract
What is Saponaria officinalis leaf extract / Saponaria officinalis root extract?
Saponaria officinalis extract is obtained from the plant Saponaria officinalis, commonly known as soapwort or soapweed. The name Saponaria is derived from the Latin word 'sapo', which means soap. It is a perennial flowering plant cultivated throughout Europe, Asia, Siberia, and North America. The extract is obtained from the leaves and root of the plant. Saponarioside is the active constituent responsible for its cleansing action.
Use & Benefits:
- Cleansing Agent: Saponaria officinalis extract is used in a variety of cosmetic products as a cleanser. The saponins have properties similar to a surface-active agent or detergent; the oil-loving part attaches to dirt present on the skin or hair and is then washed away with water by the water-loving part.
- Antimicrobial Protection: Its antimicrobial properties protect the skin from infections like acne.
- Moisture Retention: It forms a protective layer on the surface of the skin, retains moisture, and makes the skin appear smooth and soft.
- Skin Conditioning: It conditions the skin and keeps it hydrated, thereby preventing it from drying.
- Versatile Ingredient: It is used in formulations of face and body cleansers, shampoos, and other skin and hair care products.
