Properties and action of oregano extract
Oregano extract is characterized by the presence of polyphenols, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds, which are responsible for its antioxidant and protective action. These compounds support the neutralization of free radicals and limit the negative impact of environmental factors on the skin.
In cosmetic formulations, oregano extract exhibits:
- purifying action and supports skin balance,
- regulating properties, particularly important in products for oily and combination skin,
- support in maintaining a healthy microenvironment for skin and scalp,
- supportive action in cosmetics designed for problematic skin care.
Thanks to the presence of natural plant compounds with biological activity, oregano extract is also used as a multifunctional ingredient, supporting the stability and functionality of formulations.
Application of oregano extract
Oregano extract is widely used as a cosmetic ingredient in products such as:
- face and body care creams and emulsions,
- toners, hydrolates, and essences with purifying action,
- serums and concentrates for problematic skin,
- scalp and hair care products (shampoos, rubs, masks),
- cosmetics for skin exposed to adverse external factors.
Due to its aqueous nature, the extract integrates well with water-based formulations and can be used in products with natural and minimalist compositions.
