CO2 extract of butterfly lavender

The active ingredient is an oil extracted from Lavandula stoechas. It is extracted by supercritical CO2 extraction. This extraction method is extremely gentle and efficient. The extracted substance preserves all the properties of the plant, including heat-sensitive compounds. It is a bio extract obtained from a wild-growing Mediterranean plant known for its resistance to drought and extreme conditions. CO2 extraction captures a wide spectrum of bioactive compounds, such as essential oils, flavonoids, and other phytochemicals, without the use of chemical solvents or high temperatures, thereby minimizing the degradation of sensitive components.

Lavandula stoechas extract acts as a natural botox-like ingredient while preserving your natural beauty and facial expressions. Wrinkle fixing enables the reconstruction and restoration of skin density and improves its cohesiveness. Relaxation and immobilization of muscle fibers ensure skin tightening and smoother wrinkles. The mechanism lies in the stimulation of cell division, which leads to epidermal regeneration, improved elasticity, and a smoother skin surface. It also restores the skin barrier by supporting lipid synthesis and strengthening intercellular connections. At concentrations of 1-3%, it shows significant anti-aging effects without muscle paralysis, unlike botulinum toxin.

It is especially recommended for mature skin with the first signs of aging, dry and dehydrated skin that is losing elasticity, as well as for sensitive skin prone to wrinkles. It is ideal for those looking for a natural alternative to invasive procedures, without the risk of a stiff facial expression. It is also suitable for normal skin as a prevention against expression wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.

A study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science (2012) showed that Lavandula stoechas extract at a concentration of 2% increased keratinocyte proliferation by 25% and collagen synthesis by 18% after 28 days of in vitro application on human skin cells. Further research in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (2009) confirmed that topical application of the extract reduced the expression of inflammatory markers by 30% in models of irritated skin, thereby supporting a soothing effect.
