Edelweiss Extract GW: The Alpine Powerhouse for Your Skincare
 
Edelweiss is far more than just a symbol of the Alps. A master of survival at extreme altitudes, this plant has developed unique protective mechanisms that we harness in modern skincare. Our Edelweiss Extract GW comes from controlled cultivation in high-altitude mountain regions, where the plant withstands intense UV radiation.
 
The Effect: A Natural Shield Against Skin Aging
Due to its exposed location, edelweiss produces an exceptionally high concentration of antioxidants. These act as highly effective free-radical scavengers, protecting cells from oxidative stress.
 
The secret lies in the special blend of active ingredients:

     Tannins & Flavonoids: Provide firming and protective benefits.
     
     Chlorogenic Acid: A powerful antioxidant that actively combats premature skin aging.
     
     Phenylpropane Derivatives: Support the regeneration of the skin barrier.
     

 
Cosmetic Applications
Thanks to its soothing and protective properties, Edelweiss Extract GW is the ideal choice for:
 

     Anti-Aging Products: To reduce fine lines and revitalize the skin.
     
     Sun Protection & After-Sun: To soothe UV-induced skin damage.
     
     Day Creams: As a daily shield against environmental stressors (anti-pollution).
     

 
Technical Data & Processing
To preserve the full potency of the delicate active ingredients, please observe the following guidelines for your formulation:
 
       Feature | Value / Note | Usage Concentration: 1–10% | pH Value: 4.0–5.0 | Processing: Stir into the emulsion only once it has cooled to lukewarm.    
  
 
 
 
A professional tip:
Since the extract has an acidic pH (4.0–5.0), it is ideal for formulations that support the skin's natural acid mantle.
