What is RUSCUS ACULEATUS ROOT EXTRACT used for?
Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract is primarily used in cosmetics for its anti-inflammatory, circulation-boosting, and firming properties. It helps reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes by improving blood circulation, making it a popular ingredient in eye creams and serums. Its anti-inflammatory effects soothe irritated and sensitive skin, making it ideal for calming redness and inflammation. The extract also tightens and firms the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and sagging. Additionally, Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract is used in body care products to improve circulation, support the treatment of varicose veins, and promote smoother, more even skin texture.
Origin
Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract is made by harvesting the roots of the Ruscus aculeatus plant, which are then cleaned, dried, and ground into a fine powder. The powder undergoes an extraction process using solvents such as ethanol, glycerin, or water to pull out the active compounds. The solution is then filtered to remove any solid particles and concentrated to create a liquid extract.
