Ononis Spinosa Root Extract

Product Description

Our high-purity Ononis Spinosa Root Extract is standardized from Ononis spinosa L. root via controlled hydro-ethanol extraction at direct factory facilities, with batch COA traceability and typical isoflavonoid profiling available on request.

Formononetin, medicarpin, and sativanone isoflavonoids modulate sebum activity, inhibit hyaluronidase and elastase enzymes linked to matrix degradation, and deliver CosIng-listed soothing support for oily and sensitive skin in aqueous cosmetic systems.

Unlike generic astringent botanicals, this traceable restharrow matrix suits mattifying emulsions, firming serums, and anti-wrinkle eye care where formulators need CAS-listed, bulk-supplied root actives with documented lifting and sebum-control positioning.

Key Benefits & Applications

This restharrow root extract delivers isoflavonoid-driven sebum control, firming, and soothing benefits for oily-skin and anti-aging treatment lines.

• Isoflavonoid-mediated sebum modulation supports oily-skin mattifying emulsions and sebum-balancing toners at 1–3% w/w.
• Hyaluronidase-inhibiting matrix support aids mature-skin revitalizing creams and tissue-recovery treatment lotions.
• Elastase-inhibiting elastin matrix defense in firming treatment serums and contour-sculpting facial gels at 2–4%.
• Lift and contour support for neck-decollete firming lotions and periorbital tightening concentrates.
• Visible fine-line reduction in anti-wrinkle eye-area concentrates and daily firming essences.
• Soothing profile suits sebum-prone sensitive-skin toners and calming mattifying day fluids.

Formulation Guidelines

Apply standard plant-extract handling for stable incorporation into water-based cosmetic systems.

• Suggested use level: 1–5% w/w in serums, emulsions, toners, and eye-area products.
• Add during cool-down below 45°C to preserve isoflavonoid stability (Typical).
• Pre-disperse in glycerin or propanediol before adding to the aqueous phase.
• Maintain formula pH 4.5–6.5; avoid strong oxidizers and high-alkaline systems above pH 7.
• Perform compatibility testing with high-load cationic polymers above 3% extract level.
• Synergy: Pair Zinc PCA at 0.5–1% with restharrow isoflavones to modulate sebum in mattifying day emulsions.
