Rosemary’s powerful antioxidant skin care power

The antioxidant components in rosemary are mainly carnosic acid, carnosol, rosmarinol, ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, etc. Often used in skin care is rosmarinic acid.
Rosmarinic acid has strong antioxidant activity. Its antioxidant activity is stronger than vitamin E, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, folic acid, etc. It can effectively remove reactive oxygen species in environmental pollution and inhibit the formation of melanin. It has excellent Whitening and moisturizing effect.
Rosmarinic acid also has strong anti-inflammatory activity, protects the skin, strengthens the skin, and promotes blood circulation. These make it an excellent natural additive for skin care products.

The application of rosemary extract in skin care products solves this problem. The benefits of adding rosemary extract to skin care products as a natural antioxidant are to extend the service life of the product, replace artificial antioxidants and reduce the content of preservatives in the formula.
