Salvia Officinalis Extract, commonly known as Sage Extract, has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties and is increasingly valued in cosmetics for its various skin benefits. It contains a variety of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, terpenes, phenolic acids, and essential oils that contribute to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It prevents premature aging of the skin by protecting it from oxidative stress caused by UV exposure and environmental pollutants. Additionally, Salvia Officinalis Extract can help reduce bacteria and excess oil, preventing clogged pores and breakouts. In its raw form, Salvia Officinalis Extract appears as a greenish-brown to yellowish liquid or thick paste.

What is SALVIA OFFICINALIS EXTRACT used for?
Salvia Officinalis Extract has amazing benefits for the skin and is widely used in cosmetics. Primarily, it helps protect the skin from oxidative damage, reducing signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. Its anti-inflammatory effects soothe irritated skin, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. The extract also acts as an astringent, tightening and toning the skin, which helps improve texture and reduce puffiness, especially around the eyes. In hair care, Salvia Officinalis Extract balances scalp oil production and promotes healthy hair growth. It is commonly found in anti-aging products, acne treatments, eye creams, and scalp care products.
Origin
Salvia Officinalis Extract is typically made through solvent extraction or steam distillation. In solvent extraction, the leaves of the sage plant are soaked in ethanol or water to dissolve the bioactive compounds, which are then concentrated and purified. In steam distillation, steam is passed through the plant material to release the essential oils, which are then condensed and collected.
