Nowadays, cosmetics have become an indispensable part of people’s daily lives. And with the the development of science and and technology, people’s pursuit of natural health and safety is also increasing. In addition, with the advancement of modern extraction and analysis techniques, the functional components and mechanisms of action of natural plant extracts have been gradually discovered and confirmed. Natural plant extracts have remarkable effects in sunscreen, whitening, anti-aging, and bactericidal, and can be widely used in various cosmetics. Compared with traditional cosmetics, cosmetics formulated with plant extracts as active ingredients have many advantages such as being safer, more easily absorbed by the skin, and more effective. Therefore, the application of plant extracts in cosmetics is an inevitable trend in market development.

Active ingredient of plant extracts

Plants have many complex phytochemicals that can calm, restore and heal the skin. Cosmetics containing polysaccharides, complex sugars and starch derivatives can relieve dryness of the skin. Plant oils rich in fatty acids and triglycerides can protect the skin from hydration and soften the skin, thereby reducing loss of moisture from the skin. Plant extracts containing high levels of flavonoids generally have anti-inflammatory properties.
