Immortelle extract: innovations in Onmacabim cosmetics

Immortelle extract and phenolic compounds: innovations in Onmacabim cosmetics

In the cosmetics industry, natural ingredients are becoming a key element of innovative formulas. Onmacabim products are an example of how research into plant phenolic extracts contributes to the creation of highly effective skin care products. In this article, we look at the impact of phenolic extracts such as immortelle on pigment stability and skin health.

Role of anthocyanins and phenolic extracts in cosmetics

Anthocyanins are natural pigments that give red, violet and blue colours to plants. However, their instability when exposed to light, temperature and oxygen presents a challenge for use in cosmetics. The solution to this problem is found in the co-pigmentation mechanism, where anthocyanins interact with phenolic compounds to enhance colour fastness and bioavailability of active ingredients.

Studies have shown that phenolic extracts such as immortelle, peppermint and oregano extracts not only slow the degradation of anthocyanins, but also enhance their antioxidant properties. This makes them an ideal addition in products aimed at combating age-related changes and improving the overall condition of the skin.

Immortelle: a powerful ally in skin care

Immortelle extract demonstrates the greatest efficacy among the plants studied. Its properties include:

• Stabilisation of pigments. Studies have shown that adding immortelle extract to anthocyanins increases their resistance to light and temperature. This is especially important for cosmetics used in bright daylight conditions.
• Antioxidant defence. Immortelle slows down the ageing process by neutralising free radicals.
• Increasing the collagen framework of the skin. Phenolic compounds stimulate cell regeneration and improve elasticity.

Pigment stability studies: key findings

In an experiment with anthocyanins isolated from the skin of Vranec grapes, phenolic extracts of three plants were tested: immortelle, peppermint and oregano. The extracts were added at a concentration of 0.4% and exposed to different storage conditions:

1. Light (daylight and fluorescent);
2. Darkness at room temperature;
3. Cold (temperature +8°C).

Results:

• Immortelle extract showed the best ability to retain anthocyanins colour when stored in the dark and refrigerator.
• Pigment degradation of up to 50% was observed in the light, but the extracts significantly slowed down this process.
• Spectrophotometric analysis confirmed minimal changes in colour intensity and hue in immortelle samples.

Benefits of phenolic extracts for beauty therapists

Onmacabim products enriched with immortelle extracts and other phenolic compounds become the ideal choice for professional skin care. It provides:

1. Long-lasting results. Stabilisation of the active ingredients helps to achieve a longer lasting effect from the treatments.
2. Supports skin health. Natural antioxidants restore the skin's protective barrier and fight the signs of ageing.
3. Eco-friendliness. The use of natural ingredients is in line with modern consumer trends.
