Where does it come from?
The sweet potato, from which Ipomoea batatas root extract is derived, is a root vegetable native to Central and South America. Today, it is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The extract is obtained through processes such as maceration, cold pressing, or solvent extraction, which help to retain the beneficial compounds in the sweet potato root. These compounds include vitamins A, C, and E, along with beta-carotene and other phytonutrients that contribute to the extract's skincare benefits.
Antioxidant Protection: Rich in vitamins A, C, and E, the extract provides powerful antioxidant protection, helping to neutralize free radicals that can cause premature aging. This reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
Moisturizing: The extract is highly effective in hydrating the skin, making it ideal for dry and dehydrated skin types. It helps to lock in moisture, leaving the skin feeling soft, smooth, and supple.
Soothing and Calming: Ipomoea batatas root extract has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated or sensitive skin. It is particularly beneficial for calming redness, irritation, and conditions like eczema or rosacea.
Brightening: The vitamin C content in the extract helps to brighten the complexion, reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. This leads to a more even skin tone and a radiant glow.
Skin Barrier Support: The nutrients in the extract help to strengthen the skin's natural barrier, enhancing its ability to retain moisture and protect against environmental stressors.
