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, which can neutralize free radicals and minimize the appearance of maturing skin.
Moisturizing: The extract is highly prized for hydrating the skin, making it ideal for sensitive and dehydrated skin types. It can lock in moisture, leaving the skin feeling soft, smooth, and supple.
Soothing and Calming: Ipomoea batatas root extract has soothing properties that can calm irritated or sensitive skin. It is particularly beneficial for calming redness and irritation.
Brightening: The vitamin C content in the extract can brighten the complexion, minimizing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. This leads to a more even skin tone and a radiant glow.
