Dry Oregano Extract: A Natural Powerhouse for Skin and Hair

Discover the potent benefits of Dry Oregano Extract, a concentrated source of nature's powerful antioxidants and beneficial compounds. This versatile ingredient offers a wealth of advantages for various cosmetic applications, promoting healthy skin and hair.

Why Choose Dry Oregano Extract for Cosmetics?

Dry Oregano Extract is derived from the leaves of the Origanum vulgare plant and is rich in:

• Antioxidants: High concentrations of phenolic compounds like carvacrol and thymol help protect skin and hair from environmental damage caused by free radicals.  
• Antimicrobial Properties: These same compounds contribute to the extract's natural ability to combat certain bacteria and fungi, making it valuable for addressing skin concerns.  
• Anti-inflammatory Effects: Oregano extract can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.  

Unlocking the Potential: Cosmetic Applications

Dry Oregano Extract can be incorporated into a wide range of cosmetic formulations:

• Skincare:
  • Facial Cleansers: Its cleansing properties can help remove impurities without harshness.
  • Toners: It can contribute to balancing skin pH and refreshing the complexion.
  • Serums and Creams: Antioxidant protection can help prevent premature aging and promote a youthful appearance. Its antimicrobial properties can be beneficial in formulations for acne-prone skin.  
  • Masks: It can be added to clay or other mask formulations for its cleansing and soothing effects.
• Haircare:
  • Shampoos and Conditioners: Its cleansing and antimicrobial properties can contribute to a healthy scalp.
  • Scalp Treatments: It can be used in formulations designed to address dandruff or other scalp issues.
• Body Care:
  • Body Washes and Scrubs: Its cleansing and antimicrobial properties can be beneficial for overall skin health.

Formulation Guidelines and Considerations:

• Solubility: Dry Oregano Extract is typically water-soluble or can be incorporated into oil-based formulations with the use of appropriate emulsifiers.
• Concentration: Typical usage rates range from 0.1% to 1% in finished cosmetic products. It is crucial to start with low concentrations and adjust as needed, as high concentrations may cause skin irritation in some individuals.
• Stability: Protect from light and heat to maintain the extract's potency. Store in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container.
• Compatibility: Perform compatibility tests when combining with other ingredients.
