Rosemary Extract

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a well-known culinary herb. Applied to the skin, rosemary essential oil helps strengthen the capillaries and has a rejuvenating effect. Recent research is now revealing even more benefits attached to this remarkable herb, including its ability to help prevent cancer and age-related skin damage, boost the functioning of the liver and act as a mild diuretic to help reduce swelling.

The leaves of rosemary contain 0.5% to 2.5% of volatile oil. The major components of the oil include monoterpene hydrocarbons (alpha and beta-pinene), camphene, limonene, camphor (10% to 20%), borneol, cineole, linalool, and verbinol. Rosemary contains a wide variety of volatile and aromatic components. Flavonoids in the plant include diosmetin, diosmin, genkwanin, luteolin, hispidulin, and apigenin. One analysis reports 3 new flavonoid glucuronides, also found in the leaves. Other terpenoid constituents in rosemary include triterpenes oleanolic and ursolic acids and diterpene carnosic acid and carnosol. The concentration of phenolic diterpenes in certain commercial rosemary extracts has been determined by HPLC. Phenols in rosemary include caffeic, chlorogenic, labiatic, neochlorogenic, and rosmarinic acids. Rosemary contains high amounts of salicylates.
