Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient operates through its concentrated polyphenolic components, primarily carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid. Carnosic acid actively provides antioxidant defense and exhibits antimicrobial effects. Rosmarinic acid complements this by offering neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and additional antioxidative benefits, collectively working to support skin health and barrier function.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel specifically excluded 'rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) flower wax' from their assessment of other rosemary-derived ingredients due to chemical dissimilarity. Consequently, a dedicated safety evaluation for this precise ingredient by the CIR has not been concluded.
