FRAGARIA ANANASSA ROOT EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / ANTIOXIDANT

Fragaria Ananassa Root Extract, derived from the common strawberry, is a botanical ingredient recognized for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It contributes to photoprotection against environmental stressors and supports skin hydration.

Summary

Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Hydrating Photoprotective

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates primarily through its rich content of polyphenols (including flavonoids, ellagic acid, and anthocyanins) and Vitamin C, which act as powerful antioxidants. These compounds effectively neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) and diminish nitrite levels, thereby reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Its photoprotective capabilities against UV-A induced damage are evidenced by increased cellular viability and reduced DNA damage in human fibroblasts. Additionally, polysaccharides present in strawberries contribute to enhancing skin hydration.

Stability

Strawberry fruit extract in gel formulations exhibits stability within a pH range of 4.0-7.0. For related strawberry leaf extracts, cream formulations have shown better physical stability over 45 days compared to gel formulations. The polyphenolic compounds within the extract are soluble in hydro-alcoholic solvents, as well as less polar organic solvents like acetone, acetonitrile, and ethanol.
