Science

Mechanism of Action

LAVANDULA ANGUSTIFOLIA ANGUSTIFOLIA HERB EXTRACT acts on the skin through several complementary mechanisms. It delivers soothing and anti-inflammatory effects by interrupting inflammatory pathways, thereby reducing redness and discomfort. Its antimicrobial properties support skin purification, while its astringent action helps to tone pores and balance excessive oil production. Furthermore, as an antioxidant, it actively neutralizes free radicals, offering protection against environmental stressors and premature skin aging.

Stability

This extract maintains stability within a pH range of 4.0 to 6.5, though extreme pH can impact its sensory profile. To preserve efficacy, it should be incorporated into formulations at temperatures below 40°C. Barrier packaging is recommended to protect against light and oxygen degradation, which can cause organoleptic drift.

Conflicts

  • Compatibility testing is crucial with preservative systems and the extract's specific vehicle.
  • May lead to haze or precipitation when combined with certain electrolytes or specific surfactant systems, depending on the grade.
