Cover Story: Sanguisorba minor is a medicinal plant that has multiple properties and significant potential for use in the cosmetic field. A combination of roots, leaves, and flowers in a 1:2:1 (v/v/v) ratio demonstrated the most potent antioxidant effect and was selected for use in three dermato-cosmetic products: a hydrogel, an emulgel, and a cream. A better result was noted in the emulgel formulation, followed by the hydrogel and cream, based on the in vitro release studies of polyphenols using the Franz diffusion cell system. The hydrogel and cream containing S. minor extract were positively evaluated as cosmetic products based on color, smell, texture, and skin penetration sensation. Three antioxidant cosmetic formulations containing S. minor extract are reported for the first time. View this paper
