Crithmum maritimum extract

Crithmum maritimum extract (CAS 89997-98-8), derived from rock samphire, is a marine plant extract sourced from coastal Mediterranean regions. It is used in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties.

This botanical ingredient helps to protect and hydrate the skin effectively. In facial skincare, it is incorporated into serums, creams, and moisturizers targeting hydration and environmental stress protection.

Anti-aging formulations use it to support skin barrier function and reduce the appearance of oxidative damage. It also appears in scalp and hair care products where antioxidant stabilization is required.

The extract provides conditioning of the hair fiber while supporting the overall formulation. Fragrance and botanical-positioned products leverage its marine-origin profile to support natural and clean-label positioning.

Crithmum maritimum extract is typically supplied as a liquid extract or solution. It is often standardized in a carrier such as glycerin, water, or propylene glycol to facilitate direct incorporation into systems.

This allows for easy use in aqueous and emulsion systems during manufacturing. Cosmetic-grade is the standard specification for this ingredient, ensuring it meets the necessary safety and purity requirements.

Concentration levels in the carrier vary by supplier, so buyers should confirm active content. It is important to evaluate the solvent system when sourcing this material for specific industrial applications.
