Rosa Hybrid Flower ExtractAntioxidant
- ✓Extract from cultivated hybrid rose flowers (Rosa hybrida — modern garden roses bred for fragrance and petal density) provides gallic acid, quercetin, kaempferol, and polyphenolic tannins with antioxidant activity
- ✓Rose polyphenols exhibit anti-inflammatory and mild astringent properties via tannin-protein interactions at the skin surface
- ✓Distinct from Rosa Damascena (Bulgarian/Turkish damask rose) and Rosa Canina (wild rosehip) — hybrid rose extracts vary by cultivar but share the core polyphenol-rich rose profile
- ⚠Rosa hybrida fragrant compounds may contribute to the extract's sensitization potential — individuals with fragrance sensitivity should patch test, though the extract (as opposed to rose essential oil) is significantly less sensitizing
