The characteristic yellow-burgundy color, cloudy consistency, and distinct plant aroma indicate a high content of plant-derived active substances. The presence of medium-chain fatty acids (mainly caprylic and capric) in MCT oil additionally supports the absorption of active ingredients and increases the bioavailability of substances contained in Schisandra.
Applications:
Schisandra chinensis macerate is primarily used in natural cosmetics, where it acts as a strengthening, revitalizing, and protective ingredient for mature, tired skin exposed to external factors. Thanks to its antioxidant and adaptogenic properties, it can also be used in anti-aging cosmetics, products that soothe oxidative stress, and strengthen the epidermal lipid barrier. It works excellently in serums, facial oils, balms, and body and hair care products.
