TAMARIX CHINENSIS FLOWER/LEAF EXTRACT

Description

TAMARIX CHINENSIS FLOWER/LEAF EXTRACT is derived from the Chinese tamarisk, a hardy shrub native to East Asia. This botanical extract has gained attention in skincare formulations for its multifaceted benefits. Rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, it exhibits potent antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and combat oxidative stress in the skin.

The extract contains tannins, which contribute to its astringent qualities, potentially aiding in pore refinement and oil control. Its anti-inflammatory properties may help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. Some studies suggest that Tamarix chinensis extract possesses antimicrobial activities, which could be beneficial in addressing acne-prone skin.

Additionally, the extract is noted for its potential to boost skin hydration and improve barrier function. It may help in enhancing skin elasticity and firmness, making it a valuable ingredient in anti-aging formulations. The presence of various minerals and amino acids in the extract further supports overall skin health and resilience.

When incorporated into skincare products, Tamarix chinensis flower/leaf extract typically appears in concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 2%, depending on the formulation and intended benefits.
