Phytessence™ French Rose EC, the floral elixir for naturally hydrated skin

A natural ingredient to hydrate and protect the skin barrier

Quantified in flavonoids, this extract has been designed to be a natural source of hydration for the skin, as well as to offer protective and soothing properties.

Hydrated skin is radiant, supple, and resistant to aging. The skin's natural hydrolipidic film, made up of sebum, acts as a barrier, preventing water loss. However, this film changes with age, health, and environment.

Phytessence™ French Rose EC is key for maintaining skin hydration and strengthening the skin barrier at any age, to reveal the natural beauty of the skin. The moisturising effects have been measured by MoistureMap® on mature and dry skin. A clinical test showed that after application of a cream containing Phytessence™ French Rose EC, volunteers claimed that the cream containing our extract helped to visually improve the quality of their skin.

This ingredient is particularly fitting the trendy rituals of Skin flooding, involving layering moisturising cosmetics to lock in moisture and deeply hydrate the epidermis and for a long time. This trend is more than ever a recognition of hydration as a fundamental pillar of our beauty routines, and the first step to natural beauty to be adopted whatever the season.

An ingredient dedicated to Femcare

Our natural ingredient derived from rose is ideal for Femcare, due to its gentle yet powerful nature.

The concept of femcare has recently expanded to encompass a broader view of women's well-being and beauty, as we mentioned in our 2024 trends review. Today's consumers associate it with not only physical well-being, but also mental health, self-recognition, and satisfaction, as indicated by surveys conducted by Euromonitor International. This shift is influenced by the rise of female empowerment, efforts to destigmatize discussions about intimate health, and increased awareness of self-care due to the pandemic.

This recognition has prompted businesses to reframe femcare, a category traditionally focused on disposable sanitary products, to encompass a more holistic approach that includes skin, body, and mental well-being. Skin care has emerged as a natural extension of this holistic approach to menstruation. Beauty is now viewed as an integral part of women's overall health.

The various beneficial properties as well as the great emotive components of Phytessence™ French Rose EC make it an ideal ingredient for such approach, starting with addressing issues like dryness, itchiness and redness happening at the various stages of a woman's life. Opportunities to satisfy the entire female wellness spectrum are ahead with our ingredient.
