What is SALVIA SCLAREA EXTRACT used for?
Salvia Sclarea Extract is valued in cosmetics for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It helps protect skin from free radical damage, reducing signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. Its anti-inflammatory effects make it beneficial for soothing sensitive or irritated skin and conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea. Salvia Sclarea Extract is also known for balancing sebum production, making it ideal for oily or combination skin. In hair care, it promotes a healthy scalp, reduces dandruff, and strengthens hair follicles. The calming aroma further makes it popular in aromatherapy and relaxation-focused skincare.
Origin
Salvia Sclarea Extract is primarily made through steam distillation of the leaves, flowers, and stems of the Salvia sclarea plant. In this process, steam passes through the plant material, releasing essential oils and active compounds. The steam and oil mixture is then condensed and separated to collect the extract. Alternatively, solvent extraction or CO2 extraction may be used to produce a concentrated form. The resulting extract is then filtered and refined, making it suitable for use in cosmetics.
