Questionable CAS 8008-52-4 / 84775-50-8 / FRAGRANCE, PERFUMING

Coriandrum Sativum Fruit Oil, extracted from coriander seeds, is a botanical ingredient recognized for its multifaceted benefits, including significant anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It actively targets enzymatic degradation and photoaging pathways while offering soothing and antimicrobial effects for comprehensive skin support.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This oil functions as an anti-aging agent by inhibiting enzymes crucial for skin degradation, such as collagenase, elastase, tyrosinase, and hyaluronidase. It upregulates TGFβ, TGFβII, and SMAD3 protein expression while simultaneously reducing inflammatory markers like MDA, COX-2, PGE-2, MMP-1, JNK, and AP-1, thereby mitigating UV-induced photoaging. Its soothing and anti-inflammatory effects stem from regulating NF-kB activation and the cutaneous neuronal receptor TRPA1, which helps alleviate sensations of itching and tingling. Furthermore, it exhibits antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and preventing oxidative damage, largely attributed to its constituent, linalool, and possesses broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties.

Key findings

  1. 01 A lipolotion containing 0.5% coriander oil demonstrated a notable reduction in UV-induced erythema, indicating a mild anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.
  2. 02 Formulations including coriander oil cream and Coriander Essential Oil-loaded Lipid Nanoparticles (CEOLNs) were shown to significantly diminish UV-induced skin photoaging in vivo, exhibiting potent anti-wrinkle capabilities. These formulations specifically demonstrated superior inhibitory activity against tyrosinase, elastase, hyaluronidase, and collagenase compared to other Apiaceous oils.

Stability

Primarily oil-soluble with minor water solubility. The stability of its key component, linalool, is compromised in acidic environments, where it is prone to molecular rearrangement. Linalyl acetate, another constituent, is susceptible to hydrolysis. Optimal stability is achieved when stored away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Formulations should maintain a neutral to slightly alkaline pH.

Caution
Sensitization risk High

While classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by the U.S. FDA for food use, the European Union recognizes Coriandrum Sativum Fruit Oil as an established contact allergen. The SCCS has also reported it as an allergen in humans. EWG restricts its use in VERIFIED products due to allergy and irritation concerns. It is not recommended for sensitive skin or prolonged use due to ketone content. Avoid use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and on children under 6 years old.
