Citrus aurantium extract is widely used in cosmetics, mainly in the following aspects:
Whitening and anti-wrinkle: Hesperidin in Citrus aurantium extract is a natural whitening ingredient that can inhibit the production of melanin, thus helping to whiten the skin. At the same time, hesperidin can also increase skin elasticity and luster, with anti-wrinkle effect.
Astringent Pore and Antibacterial: Hesperidin has astringent pore and antibacterial effects, which can improve skin texture, reduce enlarged pores and inhibit bacterial growth, helping to prevent and treat skin problems such as acne.
Sunscreen and anti-UV: Hesperidin in Hovenia extract can effectively prevent erythema caused by peroxidation of skin cell lipids due to UV rays, so it can be used as an active ingredient in sunscreen cosmetics and skincare products for the development of related products.
Soothing sensitive skin: Citrus aurantium extract has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, which can treat hives, allergic dermatitis, etc. It can soothe sensitive skin, improve the skin’s water-locking and repairing barriers, and help to firm the skin and slow down skin aging.
In practical application, Hovenia Extract can be added to a variety of cosmetic products such as lotions, emulsions, primers, essences, masks, sunscreens, face creams, eye creams, hand creams or body creams. For example, masks containing Hovenia extract can help improve skin texture and make skin smoother and firmer, while lotions or creams containing Hovenia extract can provide whitening, anti-wrinkle, pore tightening and many other benefits.
