Rosemary extract (antioxidant) Rosmarinus officinalis
CO2 extracts from rosemary leaves are used in aromatherapy and cosmetic products as natural antioxidants with antimicrobial properties. They can partially replace preservatives in order to prolong the shelf life of oils, massage blends and natural cosmetic products. At the same time, they still have very beneficial properties for the skin and can therefore be used as enriching ingredients in skin care products.
