Benefits of Plant Extracts in Cosmetics

Plant extracts have benefits in cosmetics that include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Whitening

The whitening effect can be achieved by inhibiting tyrosinase activity during melanin formation. Plant extracts with whitening effect are rich in flavonoids, polyphenols, polysaccharides, glycosides and other active ingredients, which have been shown to have a certain inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity.

• Anti-aging

Plant extracts with anti-aging properties can be used to achieve anti-aging effects by scavenging free radicals, inhibiting free radical production, or enhancing free radical defense enzymes in the body. Plant extract active ingredients with anti-aging effects include: proanthocyanidins, tea polyphenols, and grape polyphenols.

• Moisturizing

The skin moisturizing ability depends on the function of the skin barrier. Certain plant extracts are rich in polysaccharides, hyaluronic acid and other components. The hydroxyl or other polar groups on their structure can combine with water in the form of hydrogen bonding, and the molecules connect with each other to form a mesh structure, which can effectively prevent the skin from losing water.

• Sun protection

Flavonoids, anthraquinones and plant polyphenols in plant extracts have an absorbing effect on ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Utilizing plant extracts containing these ingredients in sunscreens is able to reduce the damage caused to the skin by UV rays.

• Antimicrobial

The main purpose of using preservatives in cosmetic products is to protect the product from microbial contamination and minimize the safety risk of the product during the shelf life as well as during consumer use. Certain plant extracts have been found to have good antimicrobial properties and their active ingredients include hydroxytyrosol and aromatic terpenes.
