Ⅰ、 Medicinal value
1. Chemical composition and scientific basis: Rose petals contain volatile oil (mainly composed of citronellol, nerolidol, etc.), flavonoids, polysaccharides, and other components. In vitro cell experiments have shown that its volatile oil components can inhibit the expression of inflammation related factors and have certain anti-inflammatory effects; Flavonoids have antioxidant properties and can eliminate free radicals, providing scientific support for their medicinal use.
2. Traditional and modern associations: Rose petals are commonly used in traditional medicine to regulate symptoms such as liver qi stagnation. Modern pharmacology further verifies their potential pharmacological effects in relieving emotional related physical discomfort and assisting in anti-inflammatory treatment, but specific medicinal use should follow professional medical guidance.
Ⅱ、 Skincare and Beauty
1. Antioxidant effect: Polyphenols in rose petal extract have antioxidant properties and can delay skin aging. In vitro skin model studies have shown that it can enhance the antioxidant enzyme activity of skin cells and reduce the damage of free radicals to skin cells.
2. Moisturizing effect: The polysaccharide components contained in it help the skin maintain moisture. Clinical trials have shown that using skincare products containing rose petal extract can increase the skin’s moisture content by a certain proportion and have a certain moisturizing effect on dry skin.
Ⅲ、 Food field
