Dendrobium Phalaenopsis Flower Extract

Dendrobium Phalaenopsis Flower Extract is derived from the flowers of the Dendrobium Phalaenopsis orchid, a plant with a history of use in traditional medicine. The extract is obtained through aqueous extraction methods, which concentrate the plant's naturally occurring compounds including phenolic compounds and antioxidants.In skincare formulations, this ingredient functions as a skin conditioner. The extract is thought to work primarily through its antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin from oxidative stress and free radical damage.

The extract appears to work by scavenging free radicals—unstable molecules that contribute to skin damage and visible signs of ageing. Laboratory studies show the extract is capable of neutralising several types of free radicals, including DPPH radicals, superoxide radicals, and hydroxyl radicals.Additionally, preliminary research suggests the extract may influence pathways related to glycation (a process linked to skin ageing) and inflammatory markers. However, most evidence to date comes from in vitro (laboratory) and animal studies, so the translation to human skin remains under investig…

This ingredient is typically incorporated into serums, moisturisers, and essences. As a botanical extract, efficacy may benefit from complementary antioxidants and sun protection in your routine. If you're using it as part of an anti-ageing strategy, consistency over time is more relevant than intensive short-term use.

Dendrobium Phalaenopsis Flower Extract is generally well-tolerated in skincare products. As with any botanical ingredient, those with known sensitivities to orchids or related plants should patch-test before full application.
