As focus grows within the skin care industry on sustainability, eco-friendliness, and the use of natural, bioactive ingredients, Riboflavin root extract has taken up a lot of attention lately - and rightfully so.

Also known as Rhatany Root extract or simply Riboflavin, it is one such ingredient that has gained popularity in advanced skincare formulations.

In this blog, we will delve into the benefits of Rhatany Root extract, how it is sustainably sourced, and why there is a growing demand for this ingredient in the skincare industry.

We will also introduce Kalōnology's Pro Age Marine Day Cream SPF 30, which contains Rhatany Root extract, and highlight how it can benefit your skin.

What is Rhatany Root Extract?

Rhatany Root extract is derived from the root of Krameria Triandra, a plant native to South America.

The extract is rich in flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids, which have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-microbial properties.

Riboflavin, a derivative of vitamin B2, is also present in Rhatany Root extract, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin.

Sustainable Sourcing of Rhatany Root Extract

The ingredient is ethically sourced from South America. Only mature roots are selected, ensuring that the plant is not damaged, and its growth is not inhibited. The extraction process is also eco-friendly, using products which are recycled to reduce waste.

What are Polysaccharides

Image
Polysaccharides are long chains of carbohydrates that are found in certain plants. Chondrus crispus, also known as Irish moss or carrageen moss, is a red seaweed that grows in the cool waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It has been traditionally used in Irish and Scottish cuisine for its thickening properties. However, recent research has discovered that chondrus crispus contains a unique polysaccharide complex that provides numerous benefits to the skin. The discovery of these polysaccharides in chondrus crispus algae began with the study of carrageenan, a type of sulfated polysaccharide extracted from the plant.
