Phytessence™ Osmanthus

As rising temperatures and extreme weather conditions increasingly impact skin health, Phytessence™ Osmanthus helps skin adapt to environmental stressors. Inspired by the protective flower celebrated throughout Asia, this botanical active targets one of the emerging drivers of premature skin ageing: thermal ageing caused by heat stress and infrared exposure. Proven to boost the expression of Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70), a key cellular defence mechanism against thermal stress, Phytessence™ Osmanthus helps reinforce skin resilience when exposed to heat. In vitro studies demonstrated a significant increase in HSP70 production, supporting cellular survival and thermotolerance under heat stress conditions. Beyond heat protection, the extract helps counteract the cascade of damage associated with sun exposure by reducing oxidative stress and soothing visible signs of inflammation. It reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreased pro-inflammatory mediator PGE2, and visibly reduced UV-induced redness. Ideal for modern geo-skincare, sun care, after-sun and daily protection formulations, Phytessence™ Osmanthus helps skin stay comfortable, resilient and protected in a warming world. Standardised in verbascoside and obtained through the Eco-sound™ eco-designed extraction technology, it combines climate-conscious performance with botanical efficacy.
