FSS Beet Root Extract G

(Contains Glycerin and Preserved with Leucidal Liquid)

 
Beets (Beta vulgaris) also commonly referred to as Sugar Beets, are rich in nutrients and phytocompounds

that are excellent for use in skin care applications. Since beets are rich in polysaccharides and sugars, extracts can be used to effectively moisturize the skin. In addition to the polysaccharides forming a film to lock in moisture, beet sugars draw moisture from the air close to the skin where it is needed most. Phyto‐compounds in the root can enhance cell renewal and can therefore help our skin feel soft and smooth. They also contain other compounds including Omega‐3, which can deliver much needed anti‐inflammatory benefits. Beet roots are also rich in anthocyanins and betalins which in addition to giving the beet it’s vivid color, also act as potent antioxidants that can be used in skin care applications to prevent extrinsic damage caused by free radicals and reactive oxygen species. Given the many nutritive properties beets provide, it’s no wonder the root has traditionally been regarded as a “panacea”, or “elixir of life” that cures diseases and prolongs life. FSS Beet Root Extract G is water-soluble so it can easily be used into a variety of formulations including moisturizers, serums and lotions. It may also help to reduce irritation associated with cleansing ingredients. FSS Beet Root Extract G also ties in nicely with the trend for natural, botanical ingredients, so formulators can capitalize both on the active benefits as well as the marketing appeal for natural
