Rosemary Oleoresin Extract

« Back to Glossary Index

Rosemary Oleoresin Extract (ROE), also known as Rosemary Oil Extract or Rosemary Leaf Extract, is a natural antioxidant obtained from the leaves of the rosemary plant (Rosmarinus officinalis). This extract is rich in compounds such as carnosic acid, carnosol, and rosmarinic acid, which are known for their potent antioxidant properties. Rosemary Oleoresin Extract is used in the food industry to extend the shelf life of products by preventing oxidation, a process that can lead to rancidity in oils and fatty foods.

In skincare and cosmetic formulations, Rosemary Oleoresin Extract serves multiple functions. Its antioxidant properties help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can harm skin cells and contribute to signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines. By neutralizing these free radicals, ROE helps to maintain the skin’s health and appearance.

Additionally, ROE is known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it beneficial for calming irritated skin and reducing the occurrence of acne and other skin conditions. Its ability to enhance blood circulation further supports skin health, promoting a radiant and youthful complexion.

Rosemary Oleoresin Extract is valued not only for its protective and restorative benefits but also for its ability to stabilize other natural oils within formulations, thereby preventing them from oxidizing and turning rancid. This makes ROE a popular choice among formulators of natural and organic skincare products who are seeking effective, plant-based ingredients that offer both functional and therapeutic benefits.
